This is so cute.... Where I live, in NYC, the squirrels are very aggressive. My mom had one run into her apt, destroying her screen window. I didn't have screens on my windows before, and caught a squirrel about to enter my apt. I chased him away, but god damn, that squirrel looked aggressive and scary. 5 stories up, this squirrel was. I love how he feeds. Did you know the clenching of our jaws and wanting to squeeze cute things is called 'cuteness aggression' and is a way we deal with intense feelings mentally?

It’s so cute how he uses you as his personal jungle gym 😂❤

My husband owns a tree service and found two baby squirrels and I raised them. It was the best experience ever. We released our squirrels last summer and I would still feed them, but they are completely on their own now. I see them every now and then. I can always tell them apart because they will come super close to me. Haven’t seen anyone else raise a squirrel so super excited to see you are.

I have a rescue named Franklin.
1. He loves sugar snap peas.
2. He loves cherries.
3. He loves grapes.
4. One day I tried feeding him his milk from a ramekin instead of a syringe, and he lapped it up perfectly fine.
5. He needs fresh water daily. Franklin drinks his from a bowl also.
6. He likes twigs.
7. He likes stuffed animals.
8. His favorite food is pecans -- whole ones, in the shell.
9. I put bamboo from a bamboo patch in his cage. He loves it. Before I found the bamboo patch in my neighborhood, I used tree limbs with green leaves on them that I found when people had freshly cut them and left them on the curb.
10. I put one of those metal hanging baskets with the coconut liner in it, and he made a nest from the leaves.
11. I built him a squirrel house and he made a nest in it.
12. I put the biggest sticks that I could fit into his cage and crisscrossed them so he would have more of a treey cage. He loved it the moment I put them in there.
13. I love Franklin.
14. You got this!
How lucky we are!!
Peace and love 🐿️❤️

I have a rescue squirrel to i have learned so much with my lil princess!!!
1: They do dehydrate quickly so they need water my squirrel
(Ms Scrat) using a water bottle that’s attached to her cage!!! i tried the bowel but she would dunk her head into it n get chocked!!
2: Only give them 1 unsalted peanut a day peanuts have no nutrional value for them! I give mine pecans, walnuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds but still only a few a day!!
3: Henry’s Blocks has a lot of good nutrients it’s what i give mine but i also give her approved fruits n veggies!!!
4: If ur Henry is going to be released make sure he can build a nest, find food, n defend himself against others squirrels who may not accept him!!!
5: B careful letting him around ur dogs n cat bc he will think they are safe in once in the wild he will think the same n end up being killed!!!
6: Majority of squirrels treated as pets want be able be released!!! If u want to release Henry u hav to treat him as a wild squirrel which means less handling, n at right age more outdoor time by moving cage outdoors!!!
7: U can also buy a lease to take him outside!!!

I had a rescue baby squirrel, too. had to feed her with an oral dropper for a long while, too.
Made her a heated water bed out of a cheap ice pack that I'd warm in the microwave 20 seconds or so and I covered it with a cshmere sock - the top I cut off and sewed. My squirrel never wanted to go out either. I tried to leave her in a tree and she ran down it and climbed back into my pocket - one of her favorite places.

[hollyj]

So adorable! I love squirrels! I feed them everyday! They love Black seeds. Black seed oil it's called. I feed them that in my backyard! They love it! You're doing a great job taking care of sweet Henry!

[its_britty_bisshh]

My dad is a tree trimmer, so growing up we ALWAYS seemed to have a squirrel in the house!!! Absolutely love them 😍😍

[cathysbd]

You’re fantastic caring for Henry. You’re his mummy now xxx

[Akx]

When he did a quadruple spin on your arm I died out laughing! Hahaha that’s so cute. I love squirrels. I always tried to befriend the ones by my old house & they were NOT having it. Should’ve seen me in the morning trying to show these wild squirrels some love & them just bolting from me on the DAILY. I’d walk away just so devastated. Lol 🐿️ 🐿️

[TheBourneHomestead]

It's kind of funny that I wasn't fazed by seeing a squirrel climbing on you randomly in your tiktok videos. 😆You're the best, he's a lucky squirrel!!! ❤

[karidey]

I love your videos! I often watch them just for fun even if I don’t need the skill you’re teaching.

[rondaadams]

God love you he is so darn cute!!!! I'm sure he loves his new mommy!

It was totally normal to me, we rescued a squirrel after Hurricane Frances, (live in the Florida Keys) Frankie the squirrel lived to old age.
