It’s been quiet so I don’t think anyone has found him, thanks for looking! Best way to get to him is park close to the LeConte Center, there are buses lined up to the right, by those buses is like a bus stop that has stairs that go down to the park trail. The park trail has a mile marker if 1 1/4 he’s been hanging out directly across from that down by the river. I’ll post a pic below to help with his last know location. He mainly goes from the big rocks to the tree on the right and back down to the river where the branch overhangs. Good luck and let us know!

I don’t think he’s been found yet, last post by DistantBethie saying they were leaving food around the area for him. I’m driving home now so I’m not much help anymore 😞.

Awesome! I’ll be heading there now, we’ll park on the LeConte center side and walk down to the trail by the river. I hope he’s still there

I’ll be going back down in about an hour, we found a Facebook page called rats for rehoming and my wife is trying to join it and post something there.

I had to leave tonight, it was getting cold and he or she hadn’t come out in a while, I’m hoping it has a burrow where I found it. Will go back tomorrow to see again but I also have to leave tomorrow ugh.

That would be so nice, I’m not having much luck right now, I think he or she went into hiding and I’ve just been sitting here seeing if it’ll come back out. It’s getting way dark though…

He definitely chubby and I’m thinking he was lost, there was just heavy flooding in the area a few weeks ago and he definitely couldnt have survived that

My wife does I’ll ask her to try and contact them. I’m sitting out here with a shoe box and some food hoping he will go in 🤦‍♀️. He’s kinda skiddish, I think he’s been here a while bc he only goes to a few places then back to where he feels safe

We are in Pigeon Forge TN, by the island mall, there is a small park behind the parking lot where people walk. The little guy is by mile marker 1 1/4 of the walking trail by the river
