Seven Days Of Love - Wild Card!steemCreated with Sketch.

in sevendaysoflove •  7 years ago 

Many years ago I fostered some baby squirrels who had lost their momma. When I re-wilded them, they stuck pretty close to home for that first year and I had a little too much fun tempting them into silly photos. I was going to make a calendar, so I had props for all the holidays. Here are a few shots of them as tiny babies and then as young adults being shamelessly exploited by a photographer... 😁

They were pretty scared when I picked them up...

Hunger soon conquered fear!

In just a couple months, they were all grown up and ready to be slave labor models for my get rich quick calendar scheme...lol!

Thank you!

Oh my goodness, how cute!! Love it!

Thanks! My mom was an animal rescue foster-er when I was a kid, I have had the chance to play with baby squirrels a lot and it never gets old!

I bet! We have a small farm, and no matter how many baby animals are born, it never gets old! Something about those babies... ♥

what do you feed a baby squirrel?

Puppy milk replacer. I was working through a local rescue society, so they hooked me up with everything I needed.
