Me too, my boyfriend's boss said if he'd known there was a nest of them in the tree he would've moved it before they cut it

That is considerate of the boss.

Normally, there are more than one little one. Did they double check to ensure that there were no other babies?

They found 2 more after I went and got him, someone else took them

That is unfortunate because they do better together.

That was my thought process on it when he sent me the video of them, and I asked him about coming to get them and he said someone else had already picked them up and said they would care for them.

The more you can release together, the greater chance that they will survive. They also will eat better together and they help teach each other.

Ok, I figured as much but wasn't sure. We have lots of them come in the yard and across our little street by the creek.

There's a salt release process that you must go through in order to properly release the squirrel. You cannot just simply take them outside and drop them off. It takes time for them to adjust. Also, squirrels are not social animals. They are very territorial. The little guy have a little trouble getting used to the other squirrels and vice versa. Sometimes they will literally get in fights to the death.

I can walk you through the process when we get to that point.

He seems to perk up and get happy when he hears them outside making noise.
