TLC Squirrel Rehab I’m a licensed rehabber, through Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries, located in Central Louisiana, Grant Parish.

I take in orphaned and/or injured squirrels to provide temporary care until they can hopefully and successfully be returned back in to the wild.

Interesting morning.. I went to B22 to workout and on my way in I noticed a hummingbird under one of the outside weight machines trying to flap its wings. It was covered in a spider web so I quickly scooped him up to examine him. I took him inside Rue22 to hold for me while i did a quick workout. Thankfully the staff were quick to get him in a container and fixed him some sugar water, placing him in a quiet dark area to rest. After working out, I took him home to start freeing his little feet and wings.. 5 minutes later, he was flying all over my bathroom! I took him back to the gym to release him.. and as you can see in the video, he was ready to go!

Taking a few months off again due to upcoming shoulder surgery on August 19th. I will be having a bicep tendonesis and a revision rotator cuff repair. This is my 3rd surgery on my right shoulder and praying this one solves all the issues I have been having.

Lucky is about 2 weeks from being released… he is now in the slow release enclosure in the woods behind the house. I moved him late yesterday evening and when I went to check on him this morning, he was out exploring his new surroundings! Looks like he will adjust with no issues, bc I have had some intakes hide in their nesting box for a few days before exploring. Not even 12 hours later, and he’s eating and exploring!

Lucky is doing great! Exploring more of his two story enclosure and eating lots more veggies and fruit and less formula through syringe feeding. He has about one more week on the back porch acclimating to the weather, sounds and smells of being outside before he moves into the large slow release enclosure in the woods. He will stay in it for about 2 weeks before he will have his first step at living free in the wild again.

This little man is getting big! He is weaning himself off of the formula and absolutely loves avocado!

Been kinda quiet lately due to having 2 shoulder surgeries within the past 4 months… but finally feeling a little better and up to slowly getting back involved with taking in babies. Took in this sweet baby yesterday, named Lucky by the finder. He looks to be around 7 weeks old and weighed 137 grams at intake. As of today, he is taking his formula well, along with nibbling on avocado.

TLC Squirrel Rehab will be temporarily not taking in any intakes due to another surgery next week. I will be having my 2nd surgery, on the same shoulder/rotator cuff, just over 3 months following my 1st surgery Nov 27. Depending on physical therapy and recovery time, I hope to be back in a few months. Sorry for any inconvenience, but as always, I appreciate the positive thoughts and prayers!

TLC Squirrel Rehab...

I created this page so that I could share my experiences as a wildlife rehabber with my family and friends. I find it to be very rewarding to work with orphaned and/or injured wildlife (squirrels) and to rehabilitate them to where they can survive back in the wild, where they belong. I have been asked often how to become a rehabber, the pros & cons, the how to's and do not's, etc.... Honestly, I learned so much during my training, working under an amazing licensed rehabber for about a year, before I received my own license. To become a rehabber, you have to be 18 years or older, not be a felon, complete the LDWF wildlife rehabilitation course, along with passing facility and enclosure inspections, etc... There's more information on the Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries website if anyone is interested in becoming a wildlife rehabber. Please check it out, we are always in need of more rehabbers in Louisiana. http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/wildlife-rehabilitation-program
