This guy got so upset after seeing a crow!

He was so upset 😭 this was after the crow flew away. He carried on for awhile, also he could probably smell/hear us and the whole world is just scary.

Anything I can do to help this little guy?

Anything I could do to help this little guy? I’ve seen him for a few days now with one side of his face, completely swollen and pus coming out of his eye. I’m noticing today that he seems less energetic. Tips?

Squirrel Vertigo?

We have about 4-6 regulars who come to our feed dish along with the birds, one of which I've named Wobbly.

Wobbly lives up to the name with severe balance problems that cause it to fall over when it runs or sits up to eat, and if it falls over while eating, it'll give up and lie there until it's finished the snack and wants another. It can't climb at all.

It's been coming around for a few weeks and doesn't express any rabid behavior or aggression towards the other squirrels, and they don't try to drive it away, so should I just assume that it is what it looks like, maybe an old head injury? Despite its wobblyness, it's still fast enough that it would take a trap to catch, and I don't want to scare it like that if it's not something that actively needs to be treated.

Wildlife rehab desperately in need of food donations!

Hi everyone! Our NY state wildlife rehab is in desperate need of some food donations for our baby squirrels. It's been an intense baby season already, so our seasonal budget is tight and we have already exhausted a huge portion of it on formula/food costs for our squirrel intakes alone. 🐿️ (they need a squirrel emoji, that's a chipmunk!)

Each baby squirrel we save goes through around 2lbs ($40) of formula powder to make it to weaning age and then they eat 2/3 rodent blocks a day when they wean, and we have a lot of babies! With all the babies we have, they can go through a $25 bag of blocks in less than a week! That's not even including the fresh produce and nuts! 🌰 it's a pricy endeavor for us volunteers and we would so much appreciate any help from the amazing fellow squirrel lovers here on Reddit!

You can purchase them directly for us from our Henry's Healthy pets wishlist here: https://xfkkeq.littleregistry.com/AcornAndIvy

Or send us a donation directly to us on Venmo: @Karina-Mid Or cash app: $hksldb

All donations will fund the care of wildlife and full transparency can be provided upon request!

Charlie has a new “trick.”

Well, over the last month or so, Charlie has learned to jump into my arms for a treat like Gustine did. However, they’ve now taken it to a new level.

Was sitting on my steps, as I often do, when—out of nowhere—Charlie managed to sneak up on me and jumped right onto my shoulder to get my attention. I barely had time to get a photo.

Today it happened again, but stuck around, not only for a decent photo, but then, after receiving the expected treat, just sat in my lap with it for a few minutes, exploring my hands and sniffing around. Definitely strange.

Got attackred by this little mofo

He was smaller then the average one, and had a hole in their head, and he kept humping and gnawing at my shoe.

What might be wrong with it?

Dont worry, i called animl control.
