This is the baby ground squirrel we rescued yesterday. There are about 4 babies living in the yard that steal food from the ducks. We noticed this one was laying on the ground, barely moving. There was a little blood, but we couldn't find where it came from.
He survived the night and is eating, so we are hopeful.

How is he?
He has a lot more energy now, it's hard to catch him.
But he's still bleeding a little and we aren't sure where it's coming from. He has a few cuts and scrapes, but they all look closed up. The only things he'll eat are watermelon and sunflower seeds., but at least he's eating. I think he knows he can be super picky and that i'll still cater to him.
I'm surprised at how much work one little squirrel can be.
So these are my friends from Bulgaria. They were taken off the street by my human vegan friends (thank goodness, Bulgaria is an awful place for a cat or a dog) they look after them well and try to re-home as many as possible.
Isn't he/she a beautiful thing? I love snakes. My daughter thinks I'm nuts, but I love how gracefully they move and the many color variations.I found this little one in my Gramma's orchid. I had to get him out because I needed to water and I didn't want to shock him. He's a Mountain Garter Snake.
Thanks!Rosie, the pic is just beautiful.
Nice! I don't think I've ever seen one that settled...they're always hovering. I've been trying to snap pics of the butterflies and HB moths at my BF bush but I keep scaring them away!
