Hia squirrel lovers! Does any one have a similar experience? Or if you guys know if its normal?
I found my baby squirrel (indian palm squirrel) when she was just 3 weeks old and raised her. She is very lively playful and totally adorable baby girl. On the 15th of June i let her play outside for the first time. I let her out from a window of my apartment. ( i stay on the ground floor in a very small town) She adapted well and came back quite soon. Then i kept releasing her for few days and on some days i wouldnt let her out because its rainy season here in India and plus there is another squirrel girl who lives around who bit my baby four times. As the wounds were mostly superficial i still would let her out on some days. So she came back home around seven times. when one day she just didn’t show up. Even during the day to get snacks. Even though it is rainy season I know she can survive rainy days because on one day there was a huge storm and rain and i was just devastated but she came home quite dry as if nothing happened. But the day she did not come back was a sunny day. No rain. Now its been two nights that she did not come back and I am still so worried. Why would she not pop in at least for snacks? The other squirrels that live around did pop in to my window for some snacks. Maybe the other squirrel girl that was aggressive to her didn’t let her come back? As squirrels are quite territorial. I have no clue. Or maybe she was eaten by a dog? Or some predator as even though her reflex of being scared was quite good in my opinion still she was less scared of humans than the other squirrels. I tried to look for her and i think i did see her not far from my house. I am 99 percent sure it was her. But if it was her why then she isnt coming back? Any idea?
