Staying warm?
I live in illinois near Chicago, about an hour or so out but I wanted to know if my baby will survive the cold? Its getting close to 0-10 degrees and he's definitely fattened up since I rescued him about 7 months ago, he has survived at least a month of around 15-30 degree weather coupled with rain.... He's about 8 months old and has packed on a decent bit of fat as seen in the picture. I'm also feeding him everyday with sunflower seeds, peanuts (not alot), walnuts, and advacado as well as giving him acess to water
If anyone has any specific details on what I could do to make sure he survives OR if you know he'll most likely survive given his stature, I would really really appreciate it, i raised him from a tiny baby just starting to open his eyes, start to climb and i would seriously be severely heartbroken if he were to die because of harsh conditions.

Help! Squirrel found in odd position
Saw my dog trying to sniff something and found this little one under the shrubs and hugging the stems. It initially had its head tucked into its body. I wasn't sure if it was still alive so tossed that tiny stick near it to see if it would react. It tensed up and looked up but was still clinging onto this stem. I can't figure out if there's something wrong with it or if there's anything I can do to help? Should I leave it alone?

When you run out of treats...
...you get the cutie wake up call of banging on the screen door until you wake up and the stare down until you go to the store and make things right.
And I'm cool with it 😎👍 🥜

Biting the hand that feeds him... 🫤
I still love him...but what a little dick... My buddy, "Sunny" trying to get me to drop the handful... I been poking him and trying to touch him. Can't blame him 🤣 it was a gentle nibble...I'm always ready, they are wild.

Good deal on nuts in shells at Lidl UK.
If you are in the UK and want to get some nuts in shells for your squirrels - Lidl are currently selling a 450g bag for £2.49. This is a better deal than Tesco as their bags of mixed nuts are 350g and cost £2.50 with a club card. Lidl nuts also don’t contain Brazil nuts where the Tesco ones do. The Lidl nuts have pecans instead.
