I have to ask this,I know I'm just an ignorant yankee, but what is that? Is it a baby rat or are squirrels born without their bushy tail? It is adorable no matter what it is!


Baby squirrel. They are born without any fur. I can only imagine how "tickled" the momma would be if it were born with its bushy tail.LOL

Unfortunately the baby squirrel didn't live long. I found it and 4 of its siblings during a storm. The nest had blown out of the tree and the rain was rushing into it in the road. At first I thought it was just a clump of leaves but checked it out and there were the babies. I brought them in and tried to keep them warm and feed them formula. During the day I placed them near the trunk of the tree hoping their mom would retrieve them but I think the storm had them all shook up because I didn't even see any for a couple of days. It broke my heart to see them die one by one. I felt so helpless.

Anyway, here is a link with some interesting squirrel info:
