My sweet sweet Scout & Nikki

09.16.2020

So, last week we found a teeny tiny puffball under Ma’s truck. We waited alllll day for his mommy to come back and get him, but she never did, so I adopted a sweet little baby boy. His name is Scout.

We instantly bonded, he thinks I’m his Mommy, he’s my little man. We got him comfy and rehydrated. And 24 hours later…..

We found another baby girl waiting for us in the same spot!

Her name is Nikki! She is a delicate little princess, and was MUCH smaller than her brother.

So now, we are squirrel parents to two wonderful little twins. They are about 6 weeks old, we’ve had them for a week. This first week had been hard, they need syringe feeding every 4 hours, specialty formula, and intense care. When they’re not eating, they’re sleeping, or climbing their adoptive parents like trees. They had their first solid foods, and get bigger every day

I’ll update weekly on Scout & Nikki’s progress

Squirrel Update!!!

Scout & Nikki have been with us for a little over a month, and we all couldn’t be happier

We syringe fed them, every 4 hours, day and night for 6 long weeks. I can honestly say that it has been more than worth it. They are so full of love and life and personality. Nikki is a little princess, she is very neat, and cleans her paws and face before and after every meal. Scout is a little crusty boy Thay quickly outgrew their living space…. so I bought them a condo

It feels like they went to bed sleepy little babies, and woke up young, spunky, squirrels. Climbing me and their Daddy like trees, taking bigger and bigger leaps, and seeming to teleport from place to place. They’re also heavier and sharper than I thought they’d be

Truthfully, I’m so glad I adopted these sweet little orphans. They have brought so much joy.

They’ve started moving to solids! Their favorites are sweet potatoes and almonds! But they like green beans and carrots too

Nikki really likes carrots
