"Tico", Our Rescue Squirrel

A few years ago I came across a little guy that needed some love. This is a short summary of our first few weeks with "Tico", our beloved rescue squirrel. Visit: backtohomemade.com/our-rescue...

This is true wealth. This is true happiness. Tico and your family are an endearing embodiment of this. I’m so happy for you

They are FUN to rehab. Here in California, Grey tree squirrel are the norm. I had one actually play with a tennis ball and roll it yo me❤

[@HappilyOutnumbered]

Yes, they're a lot of fun! A lot of work too, but it's worth it. 🙂 Thanks for your reply!

One day my dream will come true and mother nature will gift me a baby squirrel to raise too😊

[@HappilyOutnumbered]

Very poetic! Love it!

@@HappilyOutnumbered Gotta try to release it or it isn't the same though, like a kid going off to college

I love this wholesomeness! I named my squirrel Pecanye, pronounced "P. Kanye," because he loves pecans and is basically a jerk to everyone in order to deflect from his own insecurities about not being the biggest boy in the bunch (hence the Kanye West reference). He's not really a rescue though, he's just the lil guy that treats my backyard like a McDonalds.

Thanks for your reply, glad you liked the video. They are definitely entertaining to watch.

Were you able to potty train him?

[@HappilyOutnumbered]

Thanks for your reply. Good question. No, we never tried to potty train him. We just kept his enclosure tidy and he was surprisingly clean.
