The 10 month old female squirrel we overwintered has been in her release cage for 8 weeks. We were getting ready to release her and a tornado came through our area and hit the tree next to her release cage. Unfortunately it landed on our deck and garage. The good news is that she is fine and her release cage didn't have any damage. Now we have workers here all week working next to her release cage. Is it ok if she stays another week in her release cage until the workers are finished with everything? Thanks

Absolutely - you may even want to push it a day or two and let her get a look at things as the WILL BE once everything is cleared. And to let the local wildlife get back to their normal behavior, too.

A tornado! How terrifying. One of my weather fears. I am glad only THINGS were hurt!
