About 3 weeks ago this squirrel fell out of the neighbor’s tree. Actually he was one of 4 squirrels that fell and the only survivor. I’ve been feeding him dog milk and he’s just beginning to eat peanuts and peaches. I’ve built him a squirrel house out of 2 hanging baskets.

I’m not sure what I’m eventually going to do with him as he grows up. I rescued him again last night from the jaws of a cat. So I’m definitely his hero today. His name is Ganesha after the Hindu elephant god. I want him to have an important name. My complete collection of pictures can be found here.

    I got bitten by a baby squirrel once. I was seven at the time. For some reason I believe picking up one by my bare hands was a good idea. I wanted one as a pet. My grandfather saw this. He was not happy to say the least. I got one hell of a lecture.

    Interesting story BTW…

    Yeah – you can buy dog milk in cans at pet stores.

    Be careful Feeding peanuts to your squirrel they can be harmful and may cause seizures. Stick with fresh vegetables and the occasional pecan.

    Either you are disturbing the evolution process (weaker/dumber shall die…) or you were disturbing the God ALmighty’s finger (his will the creature fell of the tree), I don’t know which one is it :D But both are no good options ;)
