Saving Little Niblick

- A video and picture story of a squirrel we rescued from the parking deck at my office. We nursed her back to health and eventually released her on our wooded property. She lives near the house and visits us regularly.
Thank you for saving her. She is a beautiful little squirrel. She looks so happy and healthy.
God bless you Gary for your Compassionate Heart for God's creation
Nibble + Lick = Niblick!
I raised two eastern gray squirrels when I lived in Minnesota. This brings back many fond memories! Their behaviors and personalities were almost identical to Niblick.
Both squirrels were “soft released” into the neighborhood like Niblick. The male, Toto, quickly dispersed to find his own territory. The female, Grubber, remained a faithful friend her whole life. She raised many families of babies in her nesting box in our back yard, but none were tame like her.
My son raised an orphaned western gray squirrel and named her Lucky.
Western gray squirrels are much larger than their eastern counterparts, and not as sociable - close bond with my son, and jealously protective of him. Lucky literally slept in bed with him and followed him everywhere, riding on his shoulders.
All our squirrels used a litter box. They were very clean, playful, amazing animals.
There are a lot of squirrels on our property where we released her, and I am hoping that she was taken in by some of them. Based on where she goes after she visits, I’m thinking she found some friends because I have seen several in that area. I do hope that she brings some babies to visit some day!
What a good man you are! Precious little squirrel who fit right in with the whole family!
They make great pets when they're rescued !!
They live long time, up to 16yrs in captivity !
They're so loving that they mate with one for life !
Wow, she grew so big and healthy because of your kindness. It is such a wonderful thing you have done. She is truly precious and living out her best life as a fully functioning and capable squirrel.
Beautiful.
We just released our squirrel we raised for 5 months. We taught her everything we could and she was doing great. They kind of tell you they are ready to go on their way, leave the nest. She is now at a nature park and we have seen her doing her squirrel things and it is so rewarding that we were able to give her a chance at life. She was a victim of Hurricane Ian 2022, maybe 2 weeks old very very cold. We did a crash course on squirrels and learned so much that if is situation ever arises again we feel very confident we could do it again. Miss her very much but, like your own kids you need to let go when the times comes.
It must have been an amazing experience to help nurse an animal back to health and give them a second chance at life. We need more people like you in the world.
You are such a sweet man, sweet family.❤💋❤
So precious
♥️♥️♥️♥️she's absolutely darling ! The world is a happier place because little Niblick was saved 💖
This video made my day. So moving. Thank you, you lovely humans.

BEEN THERE..GREATEST LITTLE BUDDY I CAN RECALL..I NAMED HIM JANGO....R.I.P. LITTLE FRIEND💚💚
Thank you so much for your big loving heart! Now she lives the best of both worlds- hers and yours! ❤❤❤
Thank you for saving her 🙏!!
What a beautiful story! You are did a amazing job raising Niblick . Thankyou for your kindness and compassion with your new family member 🐿️ bless your heart ❤️ Awesome seeing how much she grew and how she learned to be a squirrel inside and out. Looks like she's living her best life! thanks for helping her 🥰🐿️
Back in the ‘80s my daughter rescued a very thin young squirrel ( looked more like a kangaroo) . Make a long story short I took care of it and later set it free in a park in Rochester, MN. I was fine until I looked back and she was looking at me like…..” where are you going? You forgot me!!!” Yup I cried… but she had to be free !!! ❤
YESSsss ! What @ChippySquirrels said! You thank us for watching ?? I say thanks for making my day! I had surgery 2 weeks ago, and this video gave me the gift of being part of the “real” world again…of nature and animals (my greatest loves❤) Miss Niblick is so very fortunate to have stumbled toward you, of all hoomans, who would see her for the magnificent creature she was and is and will be. Thank you from every corner of my heart, for being the kind of folks to do this, to value this little being and go to all the work of saving her. ( a little life that was very close to being lost), but you came to the rescue with Pedialyte and Puppy formula 😂, bless your hearts 🥰 A lovely lovely story ❤
Oh my gosh, such a beautiful story and friendship
She transitioned to the outside just at the right age because around age 2 they get more aggressive and bite's everyone who is not the original caretakers. These bites are frequent, draw blood and hurt really bad. They are inherently wild and it would take many generations to breed them out those behaviors. Great job though. It was exactly my story with "Mikey" all they way down to finding buried nuts in your clothes and having to check for any surprises in your shoes every morning before you put them on. They don't pre or poop much but after them going "wherever", your house will start to smell like a barn and he absolutely terrorized his 4 cat brothers all day, everyday except one who bit him really hard and knew he couldn't play rough with Mr. Pip anymore because he would kill him easily!! Anyways it was an awesome experience raising one but not sure I would do it again. GL to anyone who takes on this adventure. It's very rewarding yet chaotic and some difficult times. He caught a virus one day, we saw he was sick and not feeling good, then like he came he was gone the next day literally. The death was hard to deal with as well. Just fyi everone.
What a wonderful story - she is so adorable 😍
God bless you and thank you for your kindness and caring and love ❤️ and dedication for this beautiful cutie.🐿👍🙏❤️
Thank heavens you realized an empty box was no comfort whatsoever……she taught you a new layer of compassion. So glad you saved this little critter and learned to be a nurturer for her…..as she is for you.
The box was just what I had to hand when I got home…until I remembered I had a hamster cage! Did have to make a $90 run to Walmart for the formula, pedialyte, syringes, etc. But it was worth it to watch her grow and thrive.
@@garywillfordeal men are kind to animals. Thank you SO much, friend, for saving this beautiful girl and giving her safety, love and nurturing. You are wonderful and so is your family! ❤️👍
Great job!
Thank you so much for saving this little cuite seen alot of squirrel videos this is by far the best one yet I see your a Vietnam vet Thank u for your service
Thank you for your kind words…but I do need to say I’m not a Vietnam Vet. My father was…I’m not quite THAT old! I am a Somalia vet.
Awww-she likes the outdoors...trees! Bless her for learning to be a woods squirrel. Have fun little furbaby. 💗🌲🍁🌞
This was a very well done video!!! Showing her from a tiny pup to a very happy healthy ending was a fun heart-warming journey. Thank you for sharing and for saving sweet Niblick. What a once in a lifetime kind of experience we don't all get.
God will Bless you for this great kindness !
What a great sweetest story! God bless you look how kind compassionate and loving your soul is what good people!
So Precious!
What a wonderful story💖🐿️ She's precious. She got a second chance because of your kindness🐿️💖
I loved your video about your sweet friendly squirel, she is so beautiful. I loved the way she goes to bed and tucks herself in draws her legs in with herself and calls it a day.thank you for shearing
I love this! Anyone who says animals..whether big or small, don't have individual personalities and are capable of love...well, they need education like this! What an awesome family! I love her adventures, and I'm so glad you found her! She's a sassy girl!❤️
What a great friendship! Bless you, Sir!
Gary. You rock. That little face looking at you when you first took her outside in the blanket. That was soul to soul. And you kept her warm.
Thank you.
This is so awesome. Hugs from a stranger across the miles. 🙋🐿️💓
Great job. We also raised one years ago and it was a lot of fun !
Dad's make us feel so protected and wanted.😊🤗😁
What an amazing story! She has the best of both worlds! In case you question or doubt, her love for you will never change or be forgotten. I think the only reason she'd leave, might be due to a predator. Have you thought of installing a nesting box for her. & perhaps an xs doggy door? Wouldn't it be great to film her babies!😋
Watching her go back and forth between tree and her person was watching her having the best of both worlds. So, you CAN have your cake and eat it, too! I'm so glad she was saved. Anyone who watches this falls on love with Niblick. Thank you!
Im so happy for Niblick! Thank you for being a good human!!!!
Awwwww.too adorable.so wonderful
u all helped this beautiful squirrel 🐿️💗
Boy will Niblick have stories for his grandchildren. Thank you for spreading truth and love from your great heart squirrels deserve
How amazing and loving this story is. Thanks for saving this beautiful little girl. ❤❤❤
I especially love the part where she's grooming you while grooming her own self & bruxing with her mouth (sign of contentment) then slips around on your head ☺️☺️☺️
An absolute joy to raise a tiny squirrel.
They are little clown.
You were such a great squirrel dad!👏👏👏 Your baby grew up into a perfect,beautiful squirrel! Also thankyou for your service sir! 👏❤🐿
Oh 😂 That was so much fun to watch! Thank you 🙏 for saving Niblick! She is so sweet! Y’all are DA BOMB 🎉for taking care such great care of her! God bless y’all for all you do! So glad she still visits! She seems SO HAPPY!!!!! Kinda makes me wish I was 1 of your kids too!!!! Lol 😆 Thanks again for the video!!!! So super special to me!!!!
What a sweet squirrel, and lovely gentle family! Thankyou for rescuing and raising her, and bless you all. 😍😍😍
A darling “tail”. How fortunate for her that you were kind enough to raise her and provide her with all her needs. You were all lucky!☺️❤️
So sweet how she buried her treat under your collar…hahahahaha
She tried to bury it in my hair, but I don’t have enough!
When the Universe asks, you have to answer. Good job! Thank you.
Videos like this make the internet worth it. Thanks for sharing this amazing story.
PERFECT rearing and release. I think she wants you up in the tree with her, HA. Lovely that she has discovered who and what she really IS. WELL DONE and thank you. She looks to be 'wilding up' quite well !!
What a darling little girl! And what a fun new family member!! Thank. You so much for a wonderful rescue and giving Niblick her own trees!!❤❤❤
Tender touching and warmth from a soft hug is what earth’s creatures need, love.
Thank you for the joy of the sweet little friend
SHE certainly is "His Nibs" as we say over here... Great Family by the way..
Wild animals, even sea animals, have been known to come up to humans and “ask” for help. It always amazes me when I see this. 😍 I love this video! ❤
Nice to see your daughter grow up with you. It was time to let her leave the nest. ❤👍🌸🌹
Thank you for saving her! ❤😊
So cute little Niblick! You guys are good care givers! Love it when she comes back to visit!! 💖💙🐾🐾
Wow … she’s so beautiful thank you so much for taking care of her you will never loose her she will always be around you guys she won’t forget all the love your gvng her god bless 🙏
What a great family. You guys saved a life, and gave her the chance for a full life. Well done
Several degrees beyond adorable!
That is the most rewarding video I've watched in some time. Thank you for filming and uploading for our enjoyment.
You guys are awesome. It is so incredibly obvious how much you care for her & loved her. It was also apparent, that while she wanted to be a wild squirrel she had a hard time leaving the nest, so to speak.
It is beautiful how she still checks in with you all & still has her favorite spot on top of your head!
What a heartwarming video! Thank you for caring for our wildlife neighbors.
You were mother, father, sister, brother to this little slice of what makes this world beautiful. And how beautiful and generous your soul must be. You didn't walk by.....
When you do something good you know it The right sort of pride Thankyou for caring
we are so soooo privileged so privileged but our lifes we take for granted all the miracles around us, shes adorable🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oooh those pictures of her all snuggled in the blankets just melted me!
Way too good... thanks for sharing...precious...
❤😮😅😊😂❤ professional video without comments was great. For those of us that understand nature and for those of us that are rescue people understand that the call of nature, freedom in the outdoors , along with the risks, is still the best method for wild animal rehab. My bird is 33 years old this year and reading body language is important to a happy relationship. Thank you for sharing your video with the rest of us.
NIBLICK was like a real Baby you are good people for making NIBLICK a home with you 🤣💙😎💙🤣
Beautiful. I hope she finds a suitable mate and raises a family.
thank you for sharing this vid! And thank you for saving her! I'm glad she survived and thrived! She's a beautiful squirrel!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story with this ❤️ squirrel!
Watched with interest from beginning to end! This is very well done by a family that adores their little squirrel. Wonderful example of humans doing their part to nuture and protect a helpless creature. Both she and her humans benefited from this wonderful experience. Thank you all for sharing.
Squirrels are of the rodent family and can be raised the same way, since their teeth are constantly growing they like the rodent needs to have hard treats,and wood to chew up..they can learn to drink from a water bottle that hangs down like in a rats cage..they love sleeping in warm soft materials and trees to climb on..toys..and lots of love and attention..and possoms aren't much different..🥰
Your a good dude for saving that little squirrels. The world needs more fellers like you. 👍
God's Creatures they are. ✝️
What a wonderful squirrel video. I like it very very much.🥰🤩😘
Oh she’s so sweet…
That was simply perfect!
When an angel falls on you ..
You should recognize it & offer hospitality ... Niblick is a good name for an angel ...
UR AWESOME...
Beautiful story🥰thank you 🤗I ❤️ 🐿
Thank you Gary for saving a life that needed saving. For the love you show and the work you do. I'm full of admiration for anyone who has time for animals and obviously loves them and when they have to feed them around the clock and all that there is no lack of patience only love.
Absolutely delightful! 🐿🥜 and so clever of you to have managed to get her healthy and fully grown. So glad she comes and visits 😊💗
I just had a baby squirrel adopt us here in thomasburg ont. Nursed him with an eye dropper and he is an absolute joy to have around. He behaves like a little monkey. Loves to have his play time and socializes with everyone who comes to the house. He sleeps a great deal of the time, and when we released him three times, he would not have any of it. Spent 2 days out in the tree, but wanted in at nite or. Last day he spent outside we had a horrible thunderstorm with lightening and thunder and wind and when it was over, wee Billie ran over over to the house and wanted in, and has refused to go out again, so he is quite happy to be indoors. He behaves the exact way this little guy in the video acts. Just love having him around. So glad to see so many kind hearted people out there that will take to time to help even a small animal in distress and realize the love they give you back.
That's a wonderful story! Niblick has totally embraced being what she was meant to be. She comes to the house from time to time, but she was the opposite of your little one. After the first time she really stayed out for a while, she kept wanting to go back out. Even when it got cold she wanted to stay in her first tree she picked. We put nuts out every night and morning to make sure she got enough to eat and even then as time went on she came by less and less. It was sad but fulfilling at the same time.
Good people, cute squirrel, funny captions, happy viewers.
I am so damn jealous of all y'all that find baby squirrels to raise! There are hundreds of y'all out there. Our squirrels here in Washington must have better balance or a better grip.... or better mom's so don't let them Bunjee jump outta their lil Penthouses. One of these days I'm gonna find one and I'm gonna name it "Finah-Lee" .... for... well it's pretty obvious isn't it?🥰
Took over 50 years for Niblick to find me! Hope you don’t have to wait as long.
Proof Angels come in all shapes/sizes and forms! You are definitely a human Angel rewarded with 5his beautiful fur Angel!!!
So sweet! Thank you for sharing your journey with this beautiful squirrel!
Every life is precious thank you for saving her's god bless you.
What an amazingly beautiful thing you have done. She’s absolutely adorable and FREE. Perfect! 😊❤️🐿
**WOW!! WHAT A LOVING STORY OF THIS BEAUTIFUL PRECIOUS ANIMAL!!**
Our houses are 4-in-a-block and they’re coated in this quartz-like gravel which is perfect for squirrels to run up and down and for chasing each other round and around in circles on the wall!
It’s amazing watching them act like little Spidermen!
So sweet! This made me cry I LOVED IT
I love her tree zoomies!!!
Lovely little squirrel soul that remembers her kind human friend. I love these stories told in very few words, not like in certain rescue videos where a lot of words are scrambled into some minutes like reciting a text, which hinders a bit the appreciation of the rescue.
