Good Evening:
I am new to this site and am reaching out to other squirrel owners for some guidance. 2 1/2 years ago, my family had 3 squirrels fall out of an Oak tree in our backyard. They were a day old. We followed all recommendations and the mother never returned to retrieve her babies. My family rescued and rehabilitated the squirrels to be released back to our backyard where we have plenty of other wildlife. We had 2 males and 1 female(Curley, Larry & Moe) At @ 5 months old Larry busted out of the cage that my husband had built which left us with Curley & Moe. 2 weeks later we had a family release of Curley & Moe in our backyard. We would awaken each morning to Curley and Moe sitting at our back door to be fed. They would eat out of our hands and approach us each time we entered the backyard. After being out only 4 days, the neighbors cat attacked Curley and he died on the way to taking him to the Vet. The next morning Moe came right to her cage and we rescued her once again. We purchased a very large cage off of Exotic pets which she has been housed in. I have recently noticed that she has overgrown teeth curving in that are extremely long which is posing a problem with her being able to eat and chew on branches, etc. Any recommedations on how to trim teeth or where I should bring her? Thank you in advance!
