Here's Ivy, the pups' mother...she's saying, "Ooooooh, I'm gonna nail you...." http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/hraea/IvyAug21.jpg And here are the pups (after I lured mama out with some waxworms)... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/hraea/Pups16days1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...

They are so sweet, Katie - I'm so glad you could help out Van and Squirrelly with a new loving home! How have King and Kya reacted to the new additions?

...or rather on Silver Fox! The little girl posing on silver fox fur is Charlee - nothing is too good for a young'un of HRH (His Royal Highness) Chuck and his consort. Mishi was a perfect lady about letting us "borrow" Charlee for a couple of very quick photos. (My little hellion could sure learn a ...

I'm working on the calendars for 2005 - here's a candidate for Mr. October. What do you guys think?

...and he's the rottenest squirrel that ever lived, I'm quite certain. He lives in my bedroom with my youngest, as-yet-unnamed, girl squirrel. They wreak havoc over my head all night long, but it's all okay because they'll come down and snuggle under the covers for short naps. And in the morning, I ...

Sara, I figure they were born on August 5th. I found them on the 7th and they could not have been more than 2 days old - absolutely the tiniest things I've ever seen! And just 9 days later, they're the fat piggies in these pictures - amazing!

...the new mama, who owns Joan!

Not really sure where this should go on the forum, so I'm just picking a likely spot! (I will be adding a couple more of different ages soon.) Laura, this is FOR YOU! Female - 3 weeks old http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v37/hraea/Flying%20Squirrels/Flyer%20Health/FlyerFemale3wks.jpg Male - 7 weeks...

Yep, my first grandpups from an orphan I raised last Fall. It's her first litter, of course, and there are just the two boys. They are really something! I'm just awestruck!

You got it, Joan - I would love to take some new baby pictures somewhere that I'm not be sized up for disembowelment...this mama of mine is s-s-s-s-cary.

FINALLY - I snagged some quick shots while the Lactating Minx was scarfing some waxworms. The pictures aren't perfect, because I really had to hurry, but at least I got a couple! I have to say, she may be over the edge with this mama bear routine, but these pups are gorgeous and the absolute picture...

Great, Laura! You're the Official Avatar Queen...now, what do you know about emoticons?????????

Squirrels love mousies (and remotes, and cell phones, and $100 graphing calculators, and...)

...no, huh-uh, I didn't knock that plant over, not me, nope.

Man, isn't there a law against publishing things people write without their consent???? :shock: :oops: Well, surely I'll be the only person on the face of the Earth who has had to remove a squirrel from a car's dashboard - twice. :roll: At least it was successful both times, with no harm coming to a...

NO - it's NOT Max, Ms. Flyer Police! But, truth be told, it is getting harder and harder to stay away from our Max...he is a really nice little squirrel. By the way, he has taken to his new fancy-schmancy nestbox - he moved right in! And when I checked on him yesterday early evening before the storm...

Since Ms. Joan set this section up, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post my pictures here or in the other sections! Anyway, I'm sure she'll explain it to me if I've done it wrong....

Judy, I sent this response to Joan through private email - she asked me to post it. I just wanted to say that it contains a lot of my "opinions" based on my own experience and what I've read from other wildlife rehabbers. This is a very difficult question because their natural diet varies throughout...

Oh Goody, it worked. Judy, it's yours with my compliments! Joan, you'll have to school me on the avatars thing - I'm clueless. Do the images have to be resized really small to work? I am working hard on 2005's flyer calendar. This year, I think I will take advance orders/payments so I can be sure to...

Can we post pictures yet? Let's see if I can figure it out....

Now, Joan, you didn't really expect me to have NO COMMENT on the diet section, did you???? :roll: Under "Adult Diet" section, last paragraph, 5th sentence, remove the word "the" before somewhat. Under "Foods High in Phosphorous" section, insert comma after "banana", remove the word "and", and replac...
