Quirky, you have wigs in your ears? Eeewwww.
Now that's talent! hehe. No, but aaawwww! How sweet of you putting food out for the oppossums. Like I said, though. Be carefull cause you'll attract other animals...other animals that may try to kill the possums. Catch 22, eh?

Spitfire, I noticed it eating the little berries that came from this one
tree, so I collected them in a pile for it and I think he ate them. Other than that, I wish it would eat all my earwigs, I have plenty of them to go around!

Quirky-
Opossums are actually very useful animals to have in your neighborhood, cause they love to eat snails, slugs, and insects such as cockroaches and beetles, and even catch and eat roof rats. Opossums also like to eat carrion, helping to maintain a clean and healthy environment. (They are also very smart, ranking above dogs in IQ, and closer to pigs.) What, ya don't have a fresh supply of snails, slugs, cockroaches or beetles? Sheesh. Well, they really will eat just about anything, HOWEVER, be careful about leaving "food" out for animals cause ya may wind up with many other species hanging around for food. (Especially stray cats.)

around my place, do you know what they eat? I want to leave something out for it.

Quirky, Me thinks you're being sarcastic by
making that last comment. Hmmmm, I'll give ya the benefit of doubt!!
He's doing fine, so far. It's actually really an hour by hour basis when they're that young. So far, so good.

Spitfire, how is the baby squirrel today? And no, I'm
not talking about YOU! I'm sure there is nothing baby-ish or squirelly about you.

QuirkyA,
Thanks and thanks for the second comment! See how they relate now?! Oh, I'll try to post a pic, but my computer is not cooperating as usual. My newest infant squirrel is still unnamed cause I've only had him about 2 days. He's like a miniture alien. Really. I've never rehabbed one THIS young. Wish me luck!!

Poor Quirky... you could name the little guy, QuirkyFloyd, if he has to wear depends. See it all ties together. Murphy's Law rules the world. Hang in there.

Oh, me again. I forgot two things. First, I love squirrels and if you have
any pictures I'd love to see them. Post 'em?? Second, my rebuttal to your indignant insistence that I have a peeing problem:
Spitfire70 thinks I have a peeing problem. But do I? That "DEPENDS!!"

spitfire, I never thought I'd see baby squirrels, peeing and Quirkyalone in
the same post...but wow...here it is. Well I'm still scratching my head trying to figure out how it's related but I'm guessing...click trick?? Noooooo, you didn't, did you? Are you gonna hold a peeing intervention now for all the Pissin' Bitchin' Sisters? Well, I'm off to Pee-Anon now. Ta ta!
