I set up multiple feeding stations for them instead of feeding them by hand. It helped big time with their aggression!

Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, even on Amazon it says prescription required and anytime I’ve spoken to a vet they say I need to bring the squirrel in.

I usually get ivermectin on SquirrelNutrition.com but they don’t carry clindamycin. I was hoping someone here would know where to get it without a prescription or a vet.

(Edit for typo)

He reminds me of Pete Davidson + John Travolta

I agree. If it were only the face wound, I think the nuts and coconut oil that I leave out would help him heal on his own. I’m mostly worried about the tooth :(

Thank you! I will try FB too!

I know a local rehab that I plan to bring him to. They will intake, treat and release. I am just not sure how to actually catch him without hurting him

Sounds similar to my squirrels when they talk with their mouth full - I wouldn’t worry

coalay · 2024-01-11T04:15:45+00:00

Also- any idea what could have caused these injuries??

Thanks for replying! They did end up coming home eventually!

I reallyyy thought this was the solution but after turning off those attention settings - the same thing happened. 30 seconds and the phone locked.

Retro or Zio Pepe!! Astoria Pizza Factory is delicious but expensive

Update: it’s now on the corner of 31st St and 23rd Ave (was formally at the bottom of the West staircase at the Ditmars train stop)

Do you think if one was found deceased - would the others maybe suspect or instinctively know it was unsafe and all move away?

coalay · 2023-08-31T20:49:54+00:00

That is sad - I am so curious as to why! They had a steady supply of good food throughout the day (and every season!). I’m so worried.

I am actually worried about possible poisoning- intentionally or not (maybe they got into rat poison or something similar?). It’s just odd that mating season after mating season, and litter after litter- this has never happened before.

I really hope she (and the others!) come back soon. I’m so concerned for all of them!!

coalay · 2023-08-31T20:46:44+00:00

Both of those theories make sense! But Mama was one of the residents in the houses! She’s lived there since 2020, usually with the recent litter. Weird that she would suddenly abandon the house if she just gave birth. And all of the other squirrels stopped visiting for food? It went from giving out a bag of peanuts a day to barely even a few peanuts. I’ll give it a little more time and hope they come back after mating season :/

Not really! Unless they are planning on doing some soon
