And SO it begins! 🐿 These four babies were found inside a car engine that was being serviced today.
They've been hydrated, had their first taste of formula, voided with help, and now they are snuggled up in the incubator. My heart is full. ❤️
Thank you for the crocheted babies nests Alice M....perfect timing.

What's even better than a Wildlife Rehabber?
A squirrel Mom!🐿

Squirrel Moms usually come back for their babies that may have fallen out of a tree!
If you find baby squirrels near a tree, place them in a shallow box with a T shirt and place the box next to the tree.
Watch from afar to see if the squirrel Mom comes back for her babies.

💡Fun fact: Opossums have a 'prehensile tail', which can be used for grasping...like a hand!

Although often depicted in cartoons as hanging from their tails, the muscles in the Opossums tails are not strong enough to support their weight for more than a moment.

However, the prehensile tail is quite handy. It can curl tightly around branches, grasp and carry objects, and help stabilize the Opossum as it climbs around in trees and bushes. ❤️

Baby Wildlife Season has begun! Fun fact: Wildlife rehabbers are volunteers and receive zero funding from the State. We rely on donations and self-funding. Donations are SO appreciated! I've included my Wildlife Amazon Wishlist and my Venmo link in case you'd like to help out these furbabies. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/F1E8E9HRJY0H?ref_=wl_share https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2603174208733184321&created=1739754163

Just a few more weeks Jellybean!

Have you EVER seen anything this adorable? Buttons is trying to hold his bottle.🍼

The end of baby squirrel season makes these guys even more special. 🐿

Still too lovable to release! ❤️

Today: 300 grams!

The squirrels are loving their pre-release run. I'm not supposed to talk 'baby talk' when they're 'wilding up,' but how can I not? ❤️🐿

Today was moving out day for 3 squirrels. These 3 guys have been in a huge cage on the back deck for a couple of weeks to get used to the weather. Today they all moved into the big run to get used to climbing trees. (I'll still provide food and water.) They'll spend a while in the run "wilding up" before they're released. Today was the last day of snuggles and baby talk, and soon they'll be back in the wild where they belong! 4 others moved to the outside cage on the deck and 8 left in the house. 😂

📢Ori Update: Ori's feathers are filling in and he can last almost an hour between feedings! This is how I know that he's hungry...😂

As of today, I have 9 baby bunnies and 4 more arriving tomorrow morning. 🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇🐇 It takes over an hour to feed them all and stimulate them to urinate. Unfortunately, wildlife rehabbers do NOT get ANY financial help from the state. If you would like to help out with formula and/or supplies, I have included my venmo link and Amazon Wildlife wishlist. Any donation or purchased supplies would be GREATLY appreciated. ❤️ Thank you SO much! Deb https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/F1E8E9HRJY0H?ref_=wl_share https://venmo.com/u/DebHadges
