14 Comments on Girl Rescued Squirrel Teased by A Fox
Change “teased” to “test tasted”. That fox was going to kill and eat that squirrel at the first opportunity.

My Dad’s cousin had a pet squirrel she found abandoned as a baby after it fell from a nest. It lived for many years.

For the squirrel’s sake, I hope she doesn’t live in New York.

I got a squirrel to eat out of my hand one summer when I was 7 or 8. It became a regular morning ritual after my breakfast to take a few nuts or cookie fragments out to the back yard to feed him or her.

Disney used to write stories like this.

Ummmmmm… no.
I prefer to leave nature alone and just watch it.

A little tough to skin but tasty. But be careful tularemia is nasty.
and this like so many other “heart warming” stories is complete bullshit…the giveaway for me is the A-I voice used in basically all the bullshit stories you often see pop up on YouTube. My PSA to you all is now complete

I beg to differ sir. I’ve never found squirrels or rabbits at all difficult to skin. I suppose you might find difficultly in deciding which tasty way to prepare them for supper.
That squirrel had plenty of human interaction/domestication before it walks in the front door and assumes the house pet position.

Yeah, that vid is clearly heavily curated…I’ve actually seen some of the clips before.
The title does remind me of my third granddaughter, a bit, however. When she was a baby, the family called her “our little Disney Princess”, with cause. She was a tiny thing, porcelain white skin, bright red hair, with huge luminous blue eyes. My daughter would set her out on a pallet in front yard to get some sun while we worked in the garden. Rabbits, birds, (even a squirrel, once), came right up to her. She’d talk gibberish to them and giggle. They would all evaporate, of course, when we moved closer.
When she was about three, we ordered in a couple dozen baby chicks. I’d pick them up out of the shipping carton, one at a time, and hand them to her to carefully put over in the brooder. She immediately began kissing each one before gently putting it down. I told her not to, because they were not very clean from the USPS trip. She managed to get every one of them, anyway, when she thought I wasn’t looking…she was very sneaky about it. Turned out to be our healthiest batch!
As she grew she became a stray critter magnet…constantly begging to adopt them. Her favorite pet was a tiny tabby kitten who wandered out of the old hay barn, when she was five or six, and it permanently adopted her. She named him Sunnyday.
She’s 16, now, and is a constant ray of sunshine to those around her. Very bright, helpful, and always positive.
My days are always better when she and her cousins visit the ranch.

Usually it’s the squirrel teasing other animals. I have a buddy with a bull mastiff that the squirrels really torment, and the poor dog has taken to chewing the bark off the tree that they live in.

Our neighborhood menace sits on our deck and torments the dogs.
