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.point 260 |
After an assessment by a local wildlife vet, it was assumed that the remaining baby would not survive on her own either.point 99 | This is why Christina and Michael decided to adopt the cute squirrel baby and called her Thumbelina.point 183 | point 183 | 1
