Hello, Everyone

My name is Steve and I have a one year old male grey squirrel named Chuck.
I live on a farm, with my wife . we have 4 dogs, 6 cats, 2 pot belly pigs, sheep, pheasants, quail, geese, and chickens. I have been taking care of squirrels on and off for two years now. It all started when my wifes nephew brought us a one week old baby black squirrel . I got information off The Squirrel Board to take care off Him. His name was Peanut. I had him for about 4 months, then lost him to a seizure, I later learn it Was Metabolic Bone Disease. I was devastative . I swore off no more squirrels. Then the wifes nephew called 3 months later and said his neighbor, had a baby grey squirrel my heart raced. I picked him up in less then 15 min. He was 4 weeks old , we named him Earl. I got a better Diet off the Squirrel Board. We had Earl for about 4 months. He got along with everyone . He was a good natured squirrel. Then one day he went out a window screen, and didnt come back. We see him now and then but he keeps his distance. I again swore off no more Squirrels. Then last September my wifes sister called and said outside of the bar they were at a mother squirrel got runned over by a car and there was baby squirrels tring to nurse off of her. I went into town to the bar. I found one little gray squirrel running around, caught him . the next day caught one more the day after one more three total, we named them Chuck, Buddy,and a girl named Pepper. We had them for a about 2 months, three squirrels running around boy that was a hand full . they stayed mostly in the room with the cage , but you could not catch them all and put them in one would always get out when you put one in. then ond day Buddy fell off top of cage and broke his back he died in less then 10 min. a couple days later pepper died on top of cage , not sure what happen to her, no blood, looked normal?. so I have Chuck the for 1 year now. He is the best Pet if have had. he stays in the cage during the day, then when i get home from work , I let him out, he runs the house. plays , and plays he has nests around the house and garage. he sleeps in one of them. in the moring in play with him for one hour then I put him in the cage and go to work. Chuck is a one person squirrel he owns me.
he will chase and bite my wife if he gets a chance. I always got to watch him he dont get to close. I have tried to let him go 3 times he plays in the trees and yard but he comes back to the door and wants back in. he runs and plays with the dogs and cats , I think he is a non-release. I go to The Squirrel Board when I can on mondays to fridays at work in between projects, we dont have a computer at home. I dont work on saturday or sunday. I catch up on farm work those days. I been following Fallen, Bean,and Chipper over the summer. eveyday I can I like to see what they been up to. very Cool Squirrels and Owners. I Love my Chucky, and hope I can keep him or he can keep me as long as he can. Thanks for letting me Share. Steve
