I have rehab'd 4 litters of squirrels. I have friends that work for a tree service and unfortunately squirrel families get separated during tree work. I have always released the squirrels I have raised until I became Squirts Mom. I found this board while I was losing Squirt to MBD. She passed away X-mas eve. I look forward to all the information i can gain from this board and meeting other squirrel moms!
