Prefers the ground to trees?
Hi, I previously posted a question about Biscuit. She is a one eyed grey squirrel. I found her when she was at least 6 weeks old and just started the slow release process. She might be about 4 months now. Her cage is 8 feet high and does have large sticks and branches in it. The first two times she came out of her cage she stuck to the maple tree her cage is against. She is not the best climber but was working on it. She would slip a lot and moved slow but was showing improvement. But today when she came out she discovered the ground and loved it. She stayed on the ground for the rest of the day until around 730 when I was able to walk up to her and pick her up and then I locked her up for the night so I could have some peace of mind. I worry that she is too comfortable on the ground and not spending time in the trees. Plus she was running and jumping at my chickens- a lot which was very cute and funny but she doesn't seem to show fear. Is she too young to be released or is all this normal. I just worry that tomorrow I won't know where she has run off to and she will be out and not make it back and stay on the ground where she is much more vulnerable. Thank you. I've attached pics of her good eye, missing eye, release cage and her in the maple.
