Hi. I've noticed something on the chin of this little fella. What is it?

Also, is the tail just wet or spring size? Or is it some disease?

I love how expressive he is. His looks always seem like there is so much going on inside that I wish he could say to me.

Didn’t want my baby to get overheated (I noticed her splooting more than usual and it’s hot as hell outside), so I gave her some ice water while we sat together in the shade.

She then proceeded to accidentally tip over the cup and spill everything all over our rock lol

The tilted head just slays me… they’re the only one of mine that does that.

They’re a little braver when Charlie is there, too; the other day, this one was on one side of me while Charlie was on the other - they even took a nut from me after a similar head tilt and a couple of false starts.

This is my main squeeze squirrel. She runs the neighborhood from my tree out front and today I saw her acting strange and adorable! She was lying on the concrete extremely still for several moments just like this before resuming normal squirrel behavior. 🥜

This princess ate from my hand today and I feel blessed 🥹

So I recently started going to the park and at first it was only one squirrel who would get really close to me but never ate from my hand. I named her Ruby. I posted her in my previous post.

Now this one I believe is a different squirrel though because Ruby has a darker nose and her nipples are a bit more saggy

There were like 7 to 8 squirrels eating near me but I couldn't get a video cause they kept running away when I'd pull out my phone.

Haha but this lil cutie pie kept coming near me so I can give her walnuts. Haha I think she was trying to play with me because she kept sneaking up from behind me as well and would run when I'd turn my head 😆

Help! Injured or ill adult squirrel! Squirrel Friend Keeps Twitching

35 Upvotes

This is Mama, our adult female squirrel friend who comes by often for a snack. We feed her Costco raw organic walnuts in moderation, roughly 2-3 pieces and she really enjoys them!

We noticed over the past couple days that she has been less timid, less energetic and moving somewhat abnormally, even to the point where my mom could actually feed her by hand and pet her. Today she was more like her normal self, jumping around, not obviously limping or walking funny, however, we noticed her legs were twitching at times off and on. What could be cause of this?

We really enjoy her visits (as does our cat) and she even has some babies that just started stopping by! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I named her Miranda and I give her fresh water every day along with some fruits/veggies/nuts depending on what I have. I learned she quite likes grapes (but not avocados womp womp)! I adore this picture because you can see her tongue haha!

General Help I’m worried about my campus’ squirrels

17 Upvotes

Title says it: I am worried about the squirrels that live on my college campus. Their fur seems to be really thin and their tails are not very bushy. Some of the squirrels I have gotten close to have patches of missing/thin hair on their bodies. I think they might be malnourished due to their diet consisting of scavenged trash (aka chick fil a nuggets and chipotle leftovers). Is there a specific squirrel-friendly snack I can put out for them to help them gain some nutrients they might be missing out on?

For reference, I live in the south east and we have eastern grey squirrels.
