i dont know what to do with my squirrel

[linz2491]

I found her at the end of april i believe she was about 5 weeks old then. We revived her and i always had every intention of releasing her. but you cant expect a baby to be in a cage by herself for months.
anyhoo here she is a few months old she has the run and ownership of my house. she hoards food and makes nests all over the house, chews up everything and has started attacking strangers and myself. ive been carrying around a broom when she is in a mood.
when she is happy she runs up you and chews on your hair and plays with your hand and expessially eats your food!
i have 3 small kids and she was always fine with them but a few days ago someone was over and she went after them and my 7 month old was in the way and was collateral damage and got a ton of deep scratches on her leg.

i am not sure what to do with her i cant keep her the local squirrels are grey tree squirrels sheis a ground squrrel. i have put herin my backyard and she went under the house and up thru a hole in the floor inthe bathroom we are renovating. she will go outside but always makes her way back.
i want her to be safe and dont want her living in a cage. what do i do

Can you share with us your town so maybe we can find her a loving home.

You my Dear:poke need to build her a release cage she is definitely telling you she does not want to be an indoor. there is awesome help on here and threads about how to release:D If you are able to do this in your back yard she may even stick around and you can interact with her:Love_Icon I know it will be hard for you because they steal your heart but you have to do what will make them happy. Chipper is 7 months old now and has never been aggressive but if he had shown signs that he wanted to be out I would have made that possible for him. If you do not think you can do it there are pobably rehabbers in your area that can do the release process for you. Good Luck:thumbsup

i am in vacaville ca. and I want to release her but she keeps coming back! lol. she goes outside I leave the windows open I put her outside. she comes back in! after attacking the baby I put her and her cage outside and she crawled up under the house and through the floor within 2 minutes! she has access to the outside she is just a pampered house squrriel and likes it like that! Is it okay if she is not the same kind of squirrel as the rest of the area? I found her in the farm country in woodland I can release her there but worry about her since she is a house squirrel and I don't know if other squrriels will be aggressive to her.

Do any of the members know of a Rehabber in Woodland California, or nearby there?
