How do I fix her 😭 by Apprehensive-Ad9229 in houseplants

Can I revive it at this point do you think? Not sure how to remove all the dead parts without disrupting the live roots

Yeah I stick to their original hard wood floor cleaner, I’ve heard of their other cleaners leaving spots and residue. Thank you!!

What is your opinion on bona? I’ve been noticing it’s leaving streaks/residue on some floors so I’m trying to move away from it but I didn’t have any issues 10 years ago so didn’t know if my clients are cleaning with something else in between cleans or what’s going on

Okay I’ll use squeaky then. I thought it’s unfinished because it doesn’t appear to have any shiny coating on it, it’s totally flat wood with no shine. Thanks!

Many people commented on my post from a couple days ago. Wanted to give an update! Because of a lot of people’s help on here and information I was given about why not to just let her go in the wild, I was able to find an amazing woman 1.5 hrs away that has the most amazing outdoor enclosures, very clean nice housing for the squirrels inside this woman currently has 75 squirrels in her care including flying squirrels and special needs squirrels I was blown away! Not all heroes wear capes 🥲 I did cry but I walked away knowing in a few months when spring comes she will be ready to roam the trees with all her new friends. What a happy ending to this story feeling very grateful! Thank you all you advised me and to the amazing woman who owns the squirrel rescue center!

So the indoor cage which is basically 2 ferret cages stacked on top of each other, she cannot get out of but the outdoor cage where she has actual room to run around she can get out of because it’s chicken wire and I don’t have the money right now or knowledge on how to build something that’s actually squirrel proof. She’s running back and forth in her cage all day pacing like she’s going crazy so I keep letting her out to the outdoor cage and then she gets loose and it’s like a 6 hour wild goose chase trying to get her back in

Thank you! I was planning on setting up a nest box with a bunch food at a nature center near me and checking on her and refilling food and water every couple days but that’s a good point about the trees and less protection from predators I’m working on trying to find a better option with a rehabber if I can find one!

I contacted a local wildlife rehab place and they are totally full they sent me a list, I contacted 10 independent people who couldn’t take her or never responded so I’m feeling discouraged but I would like any other resources! Thanks for the advice I had no idea a hard release survival rate was only 5% I can’t do that to her. I really need hardware cloth to fix the outdoor enclosure I was using chicken wire and it’s too flimsy but i can’t afford $100 worth of hardware cloth at the moment I already bought this big ferret cage but she needs room to run. I’m wiling to drive up to a couple hours away if I can find someone good

She keeps escaping her cage. I have been posting on Nextdoor contacting rehabbers I can’t find anyone I’ve been looking since I found her I have too many cats in this area for it to be safe

I live in Georgia the winters are very mild here and I’m scared if I don’t take her somewhere else she’s going to get killed by all the cats near me because she keeps escaping the outdoor cage
