Hello there, I am located in Oregon which made this releasing process difficult. In July of 2020 I found her a couple weeks old at the bottom of a tree in my backyard curled up, momma squirrel did not come get her because the sky was super smokey from massive fires around the area. She is around 9 months now and I named her PJ(Peanut JR), the original Peanut has been coming to our backyard for years and we hand feed her. Anyways, I bottle fed her probably longer than I should have, she does not like rodent blocks, I put a pinch calcium in her water and vitamins in a walnut and feed her mostly different types of greens and fruits. There’s the backstory.. so now the tough part. When she was due to start the soft release it started to get too cold to do so, so I had to keep her during winter and it has finally been good enough weather to start the soft release. I built a nice 4x4x6’ cage in our quarter acre backyard and put her in yesterday with her original box that she sleeps in. She hasn’t come out at all and she has been super scared and hasn’t eaten or drinken at all. Will she come out eventually soon? I’m a little worried because she is so sweet, I don’t know if she was caged for too long to be released or it’s still good timing? Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you
