    Default New ground squirrel mommy!

    Hello my name is Jennifer. I have a young Palm Springs ground squirrel. He's my first squirrel. I was a Veterinary Technician for over ten years back where I'm from in NYC. I've raised/rescued/rehabilitated/owned all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, starlings, tortoises, turtles, ferrets, rats, mice, hamsters, rabbits, pigeons, cockatoos. Can anyone recommend some good posts about care and nutrition for ground squirrels please.
    I'm open to any suggestions, questions, criticism.
    Thanks

    He is adorable - it looks as though they are closely related to the cute little round tailed ground squirrels I am familiar with in Arizona. I do know they LOVE mesquite! Their diet is a lot closer to that of prairie dogs than the tree squirrels - you might look at some prairie dog sites. They are burrowers, so caging that includes some PVC piping large enough for them to comfortably run around inside would likely make them happy.
