Hello,
I have a hard situation that I am hoping I can get some advice and suggestions on.
I have an almost 5 year old female eastern grey squirrel. I rescued her at 3-4 weeks (eyes were not open), her mother can been killed, and I have had her in my care ever since.
I wasnt able to take her to a shelter because they said they would have to euthanize her since she is considered an invasive species in this state.
I lived in an apartment in the middle of a very busy area until recently I was able to move to 5 acres of remote land.
Is it possible she can be released? I am concerned because I have had to clip her teeth many times as they grow unevenly. She also doesnt seem like she understands the danger of predators as she has been protected her whole life. I fear if I let her go she will be killed quickly and I obviously cannot let that happen.
Is there a slow long process in which I can follow to successfully prepare and release her?
Thank you for your time, I sincerely appreciate you and this forum!
