Squirrel wars in UK

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
There is a red reserve by where i live they have a type of tree which the greys apparantly dont like you see reds there and ive never seen a grey so it looks like it works.
 
i don't think it can go back in the wild... he found it when it was a couple of weeks old and nursed it with baby bottle etc... would have no idea how to survive.... he is very tame...

If it is a male let it loose in your yard when mature enough and provide a shelter for him. He will stick around.. Male squirrels no matter how tame you think they are go psycho once maturity hits..They will not adapt to captivity without castration after this point and this is fully unneeded. You would be surprised how quickly these animals will revert to instinct and will survive just fine even if human raised. They do have social issues at first in dealing with other squirrels but learn pretty fast what is right and wrong in Squirrel world...

This is Mrs Polypterus with our most recent little rescue.... Foamy.
