One day a man returned home and saw a mother squirrel had made a nest of twigs, dried pines and branches on his bed for her two newborn baby squirrels.
Wildlife rehabilitators Christina and Michael tried to reunite the baby animals with their mother. However, she was busy collecting materials for the nest, mother squirrel had no intention of taking the babies with her. And, she stopped coming back at all.
Unfortunately, one of the baby squirrels died.
After an assessment by a local wildlife vet, it was assumed that the remaining baby would not survive on her own either. This is why Christina and Michael decided to adopt the cute squirrel baby and called her Thumbelina.
Thumbelina was special from the very beginning. Because of an odd birthing season and the death of her little sister, Thumb grows up by herself without interaction with other brown squirrels.
While most babies could not care less about milk, she already tasted real food.
Thumb was a big baby with a bottle. Like, other baby animals, Thumbelina wasn’t interested in jumping and climbing. She would walk instead of running, and sit instead of climbing.
After doing the best efforts to introduce Thumbelina to other squirrels, she was never wanted to do anything with them.
One of her foster parents says: “I don’t know what she thinks she is, but it’s not a squirrel.”
Thumbelina is a happy, chubby and very cute animal. She spends her time peacefully with her Mom and Dad. She loves sugar snap peas, arugula, and avocado. And she doesn’t like outdoors, cold weather, other squirrels and the vacuum cleaner.
