    We live in the Black Forest and we have hundreds of squirrels on our property every year and have taken almost a hundred of them to the vet because of fractures over the last 25 years. They all recovered under surveillance of the vet, they are strong little warriors

    We raised an orphaned squirrel last year. It was such an awesome experience. As a family we gave it our best and she gave us a lot of great memories and photos. She hung around pretty close to our home for the first year but since we don't have many squirrel friendly trees, she ventured off on her own for the winter. She comes back every few weeks to say hello but is now completely wild and is thriving in the neighborhood at a distance.

    Dani, after watching this video, it made me realize that Rue is turning somewhat domesticated even though he is still wild. Rue depends on you and your husband for food and being protective. It’s not a bad thing and I know that you are trying in every possible way to keep the wildlife instinct there but Rue will always know where to turn to and that is you and your husband. Great episode and I hope I’m wrong. Bless you both 🙏 and thank you for sharing.

  • @Frostie3672
    @Frostie3672 Před 4 měsíci +5

    Your right wild animals are so resilient but sometimes the injury is just too much, that was the case with one of my visiting wild hedgehogs just before Christmas here in the uk. I noticed on camera he/she wasn't using one of their back legs very well, couldn't walk very fast & wasn't interested in eating at all.
    I took them to a local wildlife rescue & sadly the x-ray showed a severely broken pelvis so the kindest thing to do was to put them to sleep.
    They must of been in so much pain, hence the lack of interest in eating but despite having a broken pelvis this poor hedgehog was still trying to carry on doing what they do every night.
    I'm just glad this hedgehog visited my garden so I could intervene & help as it would of had a slow horrible death out in the wild otherwise I expect.

I can totally appreciate you and your boyfriend introducing Roo to his enclosure then when he had enough he just wanted to go back home...just like parents taking their kid or kids out to play. It was really wonderful to see Roo recovering so well! The glimpse of your next video looked really sad with Roo getting sick but I hope he heals and gets well again. Roo will probably never be able to be fully released to the wild because he will always want to be with mom and dad. That antler was a great idea! Thanks so much for this wonderful series.

    Thank you for taking responsibility for Roo, for being such a good 'mom', and also for documenting the journey. Your photography and cinematography are lovely.
    I have made a similar journey raising a baby bird 'Cheevey," for the sound s/he made when happy. I dug up most of my yard, finding worms and grubs for feed, after weaning, and later made several trips to the woods until one time Cheevey never returned. Visiting the woods thereafter, Cheevey would return the call, until ultimately only silence.

    Is it possible that, with the bond you share with Roo now, you guys might keep it ?
    It seems like it doesn't know (yet) how to be in the wild since you rescued it. Perhaps its chances of survival are higher by you side, no?
