I post daily and frequently live stream with the squirrels. To follow their journey, follow me on Insta. “Although, they will always be wild and free, I hope I will remain their friends. At 12 weeks old, they will become self dependent,” she explains. “I will continue feeding them daily for 3-4 weeks. The squirrels now trust Connor completely, and she will continue to feed them until it’s time for them to go off on their own. One day whilst listening to him munch on pear, I decided that was the best name for him. It was always the first food he’d go for. One Baby Squirrel, who loves to chat (he went viral 😆), also loves pear. “About a week ago, they have started to run down from the tree as soon as they hear me calling them,” writes Connor. Slowly but surely, while helping to keep them alive in the absence of Remy, Connor earned the babies’ trust. They slept for most of the day but when they were awake, I was with them. From the day I met them, 2 weeks ago, I have spent 4-6 hours in the forest with them. They slept for most of the day but when they were awake, I was with them.”Īt first they were very nervous. “From the day I met them, 2 weeks ago, I have spent 4-6 hours in the forest with them. I was this big unusual furless creature,” recalls Connor. She began leaving some food out for them and, after discovering that they could eat on their own, Connor chose to leave them in the wild rather than bringing them into captivity. Do I capture them and rear them in captivity? /GWyEYZvsND It was a baby red squirrel!! I waited 7 hours in the forest that day to see if any adults would go up the tree. Do I capture them and rear them in captivity?” But the babies were alone,” writes Connor. “I waited 7 hours in the forest that day to see if any adults would go up the tree.

Remy had been pregnant earlier on in the Spring, and Connor knew that there was “a drey full of young babies” somewhere in the forrest, waiting for mom to come home.
RIP Remy 💚 /62VrutRCrAīut in the midst of her sadness, Connor had something else to worry about. The following day I gave her a funeral and I laid a flower on her body until nature would take her. Two weeks ago I found her body under a tree. “And so yesterday morning I carried her into the forest and placed dandelions around her.” “I was devastated,” wrote Connor on Instagram the day after it happened.
