    Default Introducing Mr. Cuddles.

    We have a new squirrel here at the Squirrel Refuge. He is a spry, but cuddly Eastern Grey. The most amazing thing is he is 14 years old!!! He is very healthy and has had a perfect diet. Unfortunately, the person who had him got him 7 years ago from a woman who was suicidal and she was institutionalized. He has spent the last 7 years with a very caring and dedicated woman, but this woman is having to move out of the country, so Mr. Cuddles ended up with us. We plan on spoiling the heck out of him, during his twilight years, and I wanted to make sure he was introduced to the best Squirrel family in the world, The Squirrel Board. I will post more pictures, as I get them, but wanted to get these out right away.

    Right now, we are just letting him settle in. He has a tube that is his nest, but we are going to work on making him a cube, in the next few days. Just being his friend though, is going to be a big thing for him.

    WOW, 14!! That is truly amazing!!! Welcome Mr. Cuddles! Such a beautiful boy, from his pictures you'd never know he was in his twilight years! Can't wait to see more of your pictures and get to know you little guy.

    I got a quick picture of him after I gave him an almond. I am not taking him out of the cage for a few days, so he can acclimate a bit without the stress.

    He sure doesn't look like an old man! Poor sweetie. Lots of changes to adapt to.

    Oh my -- praise God and all the angels for sending him to you, Michael!! It's sad that he has to make such drastic changes at his age, but I can't think of a better place for him to have landed.

    He seriously does NOT look 14. I believe he is the oldest squee we have had here on TSB -- correction, the oldest Grey squee. TSB's original founders, Jim and Trish Eliason, started this board because of their flying squirrel Chipper, who lived to be 15.

    Well, it was looking like he was going to be miserable and depressed here. He didn't want anything to do with me at all. In comes my wife and he brightened up and took to her right away. He is having a love affair with my wife and I love it!!!

    that's GREAT, I love it!!! It just took a little while to figure out he's a lady's man. Nothing wrong with that.

    I'm SO happy he made that connection , she's just what he needed.

    I just spent the last few hours playing with the Old man! It appears that he has accepted me after all! He is still bonkers for my wife, but we played and played with toys and my hand, and then he cuddled into my lap while I scratched his back and cheeks (and got lots of Skitches, you know that scratch on that cheek that makes their arm go up, a cross between a scratch or an itch!) for an hour! I was alone, so I wasn't able to get a camera and take pictures, but I am sure I will have some soon!
