Eli looks lovely! What a great job you did.
I'm sure the TSB community will be supportive of whatever you feel is best for the housing situation for Eli. You've been the one who has had the most experience with Eli, and I'm sure you'll know what is best, in the end.
Good luck

Eli eats HHB (homemade), boobals, Fox Valley milk leftovers (she stays in the baby room now) and avocado - the only vege she likes.
She is not crazy about nuts.. this is weird...

Iwonka,
I'm new here and really don't know anything. I have simply been trying to garner as much knowledge as possible from this board. That being said, I have been keeping up with Eli story and I just want you to know that I think that she looks soooo wonderful and that you have certainly done a fabulous job....
Have you seen that the fur has already regrowth on her cheek?

If I came off as harsh yesterday, I apologize, was not trying to be. Iwonka, when you posted about being in a basement, running on concrete once a day, I was aasking if that is what her life would be like there. And to answer your question, no, Angel does not have run of my house for a few reasons. One, I do have dogs. Second, for her personally, too much open space makes her panic and her neuro symptoms get much worse. I give her a confined area to play and climb in (always supervised). She has become quite the cuddler and actually seeks that out (and ready for this....got armage for the very first time today, even on the injured paw side....and she actually fell asleep!) I know not every squirrel will be this way, but when she came here, she was not that way. She has a routine, that she has come to know, and for her, that equals her being comfortable and she does well. She is not great at climbing, so I do keep her things she can climb low so she cannot get hurt by accident. It is a commitment, and one I understand not everyone can (or even wants to) take on. I am not judging you (or anyone for that matter) that is unable to do it. Quite the opposite. I was just saying to me, being outside in a cage she can never escape would be more cruel to me. Making her long for something she can't really have, plus the stress of other animals being around her, and feeling she can't trul get away. I hope I expressed it better.

BUDDY...YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND I WILL MISS YOU FOREVER.

She looks great!!!!
Eli is a very gentle squirrel .. probably because she is neuro. I can take her in my hand and she will not even try to bite me (but it is not her favorite thing either). I had to cut her teeth recently and it was not a problem, she was calm and patient during the whole process. She likes very much to be petted and scratched!
Maybe she would be quite happy indoors if there was the possibility of a lot of interaction and bonding with someone and also if there was the opportunity for plenty of out of cage time for her everyday.
The problem is that I cannot give all this to her and so I feel terrible that I cannot take care of her properly.
If I cannot find anyone that can give her a good permanent home I feel she would be happier outside in a very big cage rather than continue as she is now.

Beautiful ELI She is even doing such a good job babysitting for you!
I think she will be better off indoors with a friend human or squirrel rather than outside in the woods somewhere and far away from anyone, alone and in a big cage! I would worry for her, especially in this cold climate! Neuros seem to prefer smaller spaces to explore and being indoors with food, a nice house of their own (nest box or cage), and some friendship, cuddles and tickles she should be quite happy!
I am a non releasable human.. and other than stepping on nuts shells, I love my sqs and they take very good care of me...
with that said..
I love eli, I think she has been very loved and lucky..
I hope that where ever she spends the rest of her life.. she feels as good about being an NR as I do and has all the love a sq deserves..
I will let her come here and take care of me if she wants.
We need a squirrel train to you, Jackie! That would be the PERFECT HOME FOR ELI!!!!

Pappy, I can't believe what you just wrote about Angel Baby! It's been what now, since February, March?
OK, I'm thread jacking. I apologize.
How about an inside outside cage? Could you build it close to the house and then put in a tunnel she could go through to come and go inside and outside? She is a beautiful girl and you have done a great job healing her!
I can do the train from Boston to New York.

Yes, I absolutely saw the regrowth of hair on her cheek. I think that she is indeed a very lucky squirrel to have landed in such a healing place as your hands and your heart.Originally Posted by iwonka
