More Squirrels!


We have had a very busy end of the season with very young babies for it being so late in the year.  The possum below was caught by a dog and is now ready for release.  He ran away into the woods and never looked back!







Beautiful gray squirrel



 Another gray squirrel.  Here eyes weren't open yet.


Very tiny baby gray squirrel.






Bunnies are so cute, but so hard to raise.  Sadly this little fellow didn't live. 






Only baby possum left.  She will be ready for release soon.  She just has a little more growing to do.




Gray squirrel.  Look at  that beautiful tail!




Fox squirrel.  He has a very gray coat.  His mother was white, but was killed and these babies had been trying to fend for themselves for a while.  Wendy rescued them and brought them to us.  They will not be released until spring.  I would like to thank Wendy Sharum for her very generous donations to help us care for these little squirrels!





Gray squirrel that Erin is caring for.
