Squirrel Story 

I'm a wildlife rehabber and love this video more than words can say. Thank you for sharing all this joy with us. 🥰

I've taken in a lost and orphaned little squirrel. He was so frail and dehydrated when I got him. I'm close to setting him back out to the wild, and I'm so scared. I love how he will just hold my finger in his mouth....with no biting....he just holds it...it's their way of showing affection!

We had a squirrel that fell out of a tree and could not walk. Even though he was “broken” we still loved him to death and spoiled him rotten. No way would he have survived a week if we just turned our back and look the other way. He almost made it to 3 years and in that time he really became a solid part of the family. Even our cat would lay together with him. When he died it was a really sad day in this house and we will never forget the little dude !! RIP little Padiwon 😢

I love squirrels I feed them often in a local park a privilege to spend time with these amazing animals

I loved the fact that she came back home after been released. Most never return.

Thank you so much for showing how cute these babies can be. I'm hopeful getting one,been watching as many videos to prepare me for the adventure I'm about to embark on. God bless 🙏🇨🇱🐿️

Such a happy little fella ,plays inside and out 🦫🐿

That little dude is hilarious!! He does zoomies like a dog, lol. Too damn cute!! That is literally the happiest squirrel I have ever seen. ❤️😎❤️

You are a good hearted person,the world could use a lot more people like yourself.

I had two squirrel rescues as pets, some of the best friends I had in life.

What and adorable little sweetie so precious❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗💗🐿

BEAUTIFUL STORY!!! Cheers!! to the Cavanaugh Family!!!

So sweet and cute! I love watching squirrels! Thank you for sharing...💖

I love their garden with the moss and toadstool. Looks like a fairy wonderland!

Instinctively wise. They know who has a good heart ❤

Tuis is one of my favorite videos!!! I love squirrels. Never knew how loving and playful the are until I helped one that was hit by two vehicles. I was scared at first, but I couldn´t leave her there so I put her in a box and left her in my sewing room to rest. No vet would help me to heal her and set her free. So I feed her creamy peanut butter and water. She started to heal and she got stronger. got her a good size branch to chomp on. If she wanted to hert me she realy could. She played a lot and would sleep in my arms. Finaly set her free. I miss her so much.

I just lost mine this Past Nov. 2017. I have raised several and they are a gift. Her Name was Donut she was 9yrs old. I know my squirrel. I love them I don't see how anyone could hurt such a little bundle of joy.

He and his bear buddy have such fun rolling and wrestling! Thank you for saving this baby. As I watch this little one...I am feeding my little wild squirrel's at my home. And YES squirrel really IS my last name. 🐿🐾😀💞

SO PRECIOUS! Even after you released him for his freedom, he couldn't stay away from the love you gave him, and his favorite stuffed animal. So heartwarming and so, just wow. :)

Im at a loss for words how heartwarming this is

How precious these little wild things are at play and no matter how old squirels get, they stay just as cute. He was really happy to be with you--the cage was done up so beautifully too.

Am soooo jealous!! I always wanted a squirrel friend. Their just so cute. Running around playing all day.

Squirrels are awesome creatures.

Es difícil encontrar cosa más tierna y encantadora. Enhorabuena

Thank you for being so kind to him.

OMG the tumble with the bear is the greatest thing ever... 🥺💜

A lovely, lovely Squirrel.... Thank you♥️😀🎀🎀🎀

So happy to see you took him outside and not sit in a cage / house all day. Well done

It's lovely to see how well and happy this fur baby is. You must be proud to have rehabbed such a sweetie.

Absolute success--congratulations. It's a lot of work & expense to rehab baby squirrels but it's so worth it. They're the most amazing creatures--so clever & funny & loving, so devoted to their habit/instincts like burying nuts or building nests. You did a great job & it's just lovely to see him happy & healthy & free in the trees.

What a delightful little creature.. so much fun.. i could watch this over and over.

I love squirrels. Masters of movement, they never fail to impress.

Thank you for your love for the little guy. He will always need you

Best story. Awesome how it can function normally outside after captivity and then still come and hang out with you guys and play. Very cool story.

Squirrels are wonderful pets. I rescued a baby one once, loved it.

I don't think I've ever seen a happier squirrel!!!!

Beautiful thanks so much for help this innocent squirrel ❤️

you did a great job. I love that stuffed toy you gave him. He loves it so much. like his pal friend.

Cuteness overload!!😀

The great story of being wise and real with nature.

the way he handled that ball!!!!!......he could go on "squirrels got talent"!!!!....he has the joys of spring in him!!!

If you have the patience, squirrels are exceptional companions. :) And adorable...

So sweet! I LOVE the knee hug toward the end. Love the critters!!

I would loose so much sleep, scared that something would happen to it. Such a sweet little animal.

I love this woman talking to the squirrel. Squirrel's are the best❤️

He's so funny with that bear. Hahaha what a cutie!!!

This has to be one of my favourite RU-vid videos ever, Squirrel when hopping and skipping and playing is just a joy to watch, Bless that Squirrel and all Squirrel kind 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️👍

That is one happy squirrel.. and if it brings you laughter it brings me joy. Love every creature Great and Small

What a perfect place to play on all that moss! 🌿

Just lost my little friend of 8 years to cancer seeing this is good therapy I miss you Junior.

Most people don't understand how you can fall in love with a squirrel. I do. I saved one from my cat, back in 2006, and she lived up until last year. I didn't keep her in the house I just fed her outside and she always felt comfortable coming up to me. She finally had two babies last year and I think she was pretty old for a squirrel to have her first litter. Unfortunately both her babies died and a few weeks later I found her on the ground. It looks like she just went to sleep and never woke up. I used to help her try to make her nest too. I would leave stuff out for her to put her nest together and she would take it. I still miss her so much. After I saved her, strangely enough my cat never bothered her again. She just sort of got used to her being around.

This is way to adorable! Love squirrels, so this really hit the spot.

They are as active and playful as cats are, cute :-)

He is too cute and so playful.

Thank you for sharing. That warmed my heart.

This is a great video. Love that he made a nest and still remember his real home.... Thumbs up!

So cute and well loved .

All I can say besides how cute he is that he wore me out just watching him.

That's a beautiful and special bond. The bear toy is a great idea, for the squirrel to practice defending itself, in the wild, while also having fun.

This is the best video. It’s awesome they took care of the squirrel. But what makes this story the best. The squirrel was released. The family, I know were worried. But, things like this have to be done to benefit the wild animal. I have several squirrels, but only one comes in. He comes in gets his food in the morning and evening. Just the basic routine. Squirrels are cute, but the teeth can tear up things. Did you see his wire cage. It had a huge hole in it. He was done being caged. Thanks to family who gave me joy watching this video.

This is one of the best things I ever seen on RU-vid I myself love squirrels and I feed the ones in my neighborhood , Actually is about 10 squirrels

SOO CUTE! What a great ending for an amazing little animal! ♥️🐿

Omg she wags her tail just like my Chipmunk 🐿 does when happy.. I haven’t been able to find any research on the happy tail-wag! So happy to see it here!

Great story 👏 bless u for saving this little guy hope there is more to come maybe a family

Sweet little creature. 👍👏😊

The head rubbing is so cute!

Thanks for posting this video! What a great learning experience. I had the unfortunate pleasure of caring for a young 4 to 5 week old that had fell from its nest with 2 other siblings. She was a lone Survivor. I set up a nesting area for her to stay safe in...in our living room. Hand feeding her was a blast! We played like you did/do with yours. How cool.. When she turned 7 wks old I contacted a local rescue and wildlife sanctuary in our area and turned her over to them. I had a hard time coming to that decision but unfortunately that's the law in my state..😠 Squirrels Rule.....

Awesome video, thank you for sharing. Love how he played with his little teady bear. You are very lucky to have had that time with him.

What a wonderful set up for her/him & watching the teddy bear interaction was so cute, especially the rolling episode.

Oh, he wants to stay with you. You're the only family he remembers.

Einzigartig, dieses liebevolle Video👍👏. Herzlichen Dank für die Aufmerksamkeit, die Sie dem entzückenden Eichhörnchen schenken🐿. Es hat mich so erfreut🖌🎨🙏👀😄. Ich wünsche Ihnen auch alles Liebe und Gute🌿💚💖. Bleiben Sie gesund.🐦🌿🌱

I would never have guessed I needed to see a squirrel doing judo on a teddy bear! But at 5:18 we get to see exactly that! Fantastic!

Such a sweet baby....he/she just loves human savior.

What an adorable little critter!!😎👍

So cute! I love the way it rolls around with the bear? 🐿❤

What a love baby. You were wonderful to that little sweetie!

I miss having a pet squirrel.. they give you so much love & love cuddling.

The most adorable thing I've ever seen

What a blessing for you and for him.

Loved him rolling around outside playing with his stuffed animal "friend". :) Sweet video!

Omg!! I could sit and watch him/her all day!!! So freakin adorable!!!

GREAT JOB raising him. Get pictures of him if he meets another squirrel. Please!

AWESOME video! Thanks for sharing . Great slo-mo shots too of him leaping at 1:26...

This is so great! I did the same, released him over 2 years ago and he still comes for treats and to say hello. It is wonderful! His little girly friend has started to join him now as well ♥️. They are wonderful creatures that don't get the credit they deserve.

Thank you for saving life of cute baby squirrel. 👍👌👏

LOL, he thinks the ping pong ball is a big nut! And I think he's in love with that stuffed animal.

I love it! This story starts with a squirrel flying threw the sky lol

His pretty he love play with the humano his so funny. God bless your guys to for being so kind.

Oh my gosh -- may the Good Lord Bless you for helping His creation!

Simply Beautiful, I commend your devotion to what is good & right 👼

I know of one that lived 11 years, she was a sweety. A friend of mine raised her from a baby. Spent most of the day outside, but came inside at night. All on her own, through the doggy door. She did have a family, but no wild born daddy or daddys ever came inside.

So cute!! Love squirrels!!

Thanks for taking the time to share this great story

I never realized that squirrels were so playful and cute! Thanks for sharing...good job!

Great story line, very endearing. Squirrel has lots of personality, we fall in love with him or her. His owner touched my heart too with her tenderness and love towards this precious little one!

Loved this sweet story, such an adorable little creature!

Lifes Simple pleasures...for the past 15 years i take great delight in feeding them

This little guy ,He Gets It.What does he get.Well life is short and if you can do not waste it.HAVE FUN And I am tickled pink.He is so cute and he is going to have FUN.This is what more living life forms should do and its HAVE FUN and again he gets it.Luv this guy and would welcome this guy in my house any time .

Love the enclosure! Double height!

I rescued a 5wk old orphan and we love him! Our neighbor hates squirrels and shoots them - that's why we now have a house squirrel. If our guy heeds the call of the wild, we will find a qualified remote rehab person to help give him the wild life. My "squirrel man" assures me that rescues can transition into the wild, but it takes time. And then again, he has seen them hit the trail and never look back. It all depends on the squirrel. I hope we have a lifelong friend in the family. I am excited to see someone else playing with their little guy as I do with mine. Squirrels are smarter and much more fun than we ever realized! We now fight even harder for eco preservation! Thanks for sharing your story.
