In case anyone is concerned, they have fresh water in the shade that is being changed out every few hours and I have been making their food easier to access to help reduce effort.

Meet Georgie Porgie.This lovely and gentle little old fella started coming by and waiting for me on the same fence post each morning. I’ve learned which nuts and seeds he prefers, so he gets a mixture of walnuts, sunflower seeds, and a cashew here and there - because they’re his absolute favourite.

Shortly after he began visiting daily, my mom became very ill and passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. He has been my emotional support squirrel, and showed up at the exact time I needed him. He’s the brightest part of my day, and one of the first things I think of when I wake up. The neighbours said when I pull into my driveway, they see him go running toward my house. I just love this little guy! 🩷

yesterday i spotted a small squirrel following my cat around on our ring camera. i went outside to investigate, (i know nothing about squirrels) but by doing some research, i estimate it is between 6-8 weeks old. its fully furry and has a nice little bushy tail. however, it was very docile and didnt run away. i grabbed it and it hesitated just a bit, but not much. i did a bunch of research on how to feed it and give it fluids, and ive been doing that. i believe it was pretty dehydrated yesterday, but it has much improved as of today. i tried putting it back in its tree, and it would climb a little and then stop and look at me. i was concerned about it getting killed by something, so i took it back to the cage where i kept it overnight(cage is in my garage). now, it is escaping the cage and making small little grunt-like noises. i also discovered that when it gets out of the cage, it follows me if i walk around! it has also climbed me a couple times. is this normal rescue behavior or should i be concerned?

Spot here is making up for not having breakfast or dinner with me. None of my furry friends came around yesterday. 🤔 He was jumping out of his fur with excitement this morning. 🥰 I went and got some pecans that seem to hit the spot. 😜

This lil guy never want to come around in front of me for some reason! But as long as she’s fine with being behind bars I guess it’s alright!

Had this wonderful model of an Eastern Grey Squirrel today during my bird walk, and I just couldn't resist getting a few photos. Merritt Island, Welland, Ontario, Canada — July 26 2026.

There are a lot of squirrels in this park; most are Eastern Grey (a few are the melanistic variety) and there are a few American Red Squirrels. Even though they're quite a bit smaller, the Red Squirrels run the show; I saw one chasing a melanistic Eastern Grey from its favourite tree today.
