On May 1st my sister and I decided to eat lunch at the park. It was extremely windy and cold, and this baby squirrel at the pavilion slowly made his way over and used us to shield him from the wind. He was scrawny, couldn't climb anything, and ended up literally following us to my car and jumping up in the wheel well when we decided it was time to go.
We drove home very slowly, flashers on, and when we got home he was still huddled up there. Try as we might we could not convince him to come out. All night we kept waking up and checking on him to make sure he was alright, and he was still there unharmed, but he hadn't drunk or eaten a thing the entire time. In the morning he was no longer there.
Wrong. I turned to tell my neighbor that I wasn't a crazy loon that looked under her car on the hour every day and heard a familiar clicking noise. He was on the back tire! He proceeded to come right up to me and hop on my shoulder.
My sister and I have done quite a bit of research and are feeding him plenty of the recommended vegetables and shelled nuts. We're learning he's a picky eater. The only thing we've had trouble with is finding a place that sells this rodent block which is supposed to be good for them.
However, here he is in all his glory!
