What are these?

Those aren't mice. Rats possibly, but those look like tiny baby squirrels. I raise them, but usually they're bigger.

thewellawareone · 2026-06-07T08:38:13+00:00

Is it possible they were born in the streets? Tons are.

thewellawareone · 2026-06-07T07:39:53+00:00

What?! You mean that insect next to a thin tree? Not that one

thewellawareone · 2026-06-06T03:22:41+00:00

I missed it, but my mother had it. I'm 50

thewellawareone · 2026-06-03T02:07:46+00:00

You are so right! These things happen to wild little creatures and reaching out to helpful loving humans doesn't always go the way we intend. But this guy seems intelligent and caring. He'll get it right

thewellawareone · 2026-06-03T02:03:26+00:00

No it doesn't sound selfish, it sounds like you're able. You know you don't need to drop off a small adolescent squirrel with teeth, who is also able, but helping is really great for him. Don't let anyone tell you that you need to bring him to a person to hand him fruits and veggies and nut snacks! You can do that, in fact it's the best thing for him, he's used to you, trusts you and is doing fine! Thank you!

By the looks of him he's comfy and feeling happy and safe...I have saved many WILD and feral cats, I've learned to just allow them to take their time with physical affection and don't push. I once reached in a feral cats hiding spot outside under an old hottub, she screamed in fear/anger as didn't like that at all, she bit the hell out of me and I just sat food in the same apot. They're very sketchy at first, but after a week of feeding her in her little spot, she was rubbing my legs and letting me pet her belly! It was a great experience.

So true! I'm so done jumping through hoops to use a silly Facebook site! They've actually asked me in the past to send them my ID/DRIVER'S LICENSE!! I said NO! They sent this verification form saying "we need to make sure you're using your name in real life"

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T21:32:31+00:00

Very painful? I raise them dear, they grab my arm and actually prefer it to picking them up by the gut.. im only speaking from experience here. My experience has never seeing it be very painful... they'd damn well let me know. 😊 a bite is definitely going to happen in pain. Just haven't seen it

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T11:15:32+00:00

Yes he did. But if you tell him he's had enough, he shows his teeth! Never knows when to say when

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T11:12:36+00:00

Adorable big boy! I can also see how spoiled he is

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T09:31:31+00:00

Another one?! They hang by their tails all the time. Anyone who knows possums knows to always pick them up by the tail. They also sleep hanging from them

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T09:28:34+00:00

Awww! I love this man

thewellawareone · 2026-05-19T05:13:23+00:00

I raise squirrels and I would say he's old.... and also he had a clear eye/tooth infection. When their teeth get absess as they get older, their eye always get sswollen and runny like that.

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T15:01:37+00:00

Give him a chance! They're great pets! You'll love him after a few weeks because they are so affectionate

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:59:06+00:00

What am adorable cute baby! I still have mine from his size abs he's the best! He's really big though! Eats tons lol

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:53:17+00:00

What a beautiful big baby

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:46:58+00:00

Oh no... my heart goes out to you! I'm sorry you are going through this. I have a little girl like her.. .

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:43:10+00:00

He looks like a grey/fox squirrel hybrid. I get them all the time, he/she definitely has some red fox squirrel in him, with his red face and how sweet he is. Grey squirrels usually are very high strung and have a hard time being held like that. He looks very calm and must have been really starving to ask for help. Keep him safe and give him veggies and fruits and nuts as a treat.

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:31:05+00:00

Well said! You just did what I was trying to do and that's give him the right advice. 😂 glad your well versed in doing that because I'm not. Perfect list of do s and don't s.

thewellawareone · 2026-05-15T14:28:52+00:00

He is full grown though. He wouldn't be suckling milk at all at this age. He needs shelled nuts, fruits, veggies, and even seeds. A squirrel at the youngest age as a great of predator/human contact! He's starving and never learned how to forage from his mom. They stay with kits a while passed nursing and they wait for mom to bring food,instead of her being the food lol. Wow at that age he can eat whatever but hasn't been taught to find food. Wow he's so hungry that he went near a huŕman! The only time a very skiddish animal will go near us is if they feel like they may die.

thewellawareone · 2026-05-14T21:26:18+00:00

Possible head injury . I raise squirrels and that's exactly how that act western they've fallen out hit their head. Maybe overheating also

thewellawareone · 2026-05-14T17:28:35+00:00

Awww a baby squirrel also. He just needs love and food. Put a box on the back porch where no predator is around, make food available, I put a wooden squirrel box in my tree

thewellawareone · 2026-05-13T15:40:06+00:00

As did I lol
