Squirrels of Oshawa

A place to share info and fun wrt squirrels - let's keep it positive! If you DISLIKE squirrels, there are OTHER pages to go to... :)
This is a family-friendly site and as such no lewd behaviour or speech will be allowed.
**!!!** There are NO second chances, if you attempt to bend the rules, you will be banned, for life, without trial or jury of your peers and your comment deleted. I share a lot of photos from around the web, and in NO WAY claim ownership to those that are not mine- if they are yours, let me know and I'll give you props! My intention is ONLY to share the love... Not to claim fame for any piece of media that doesn't belong to me!. The squirrels are quite capable of that on their own! :)

In Ontario see: http://www.ontariowildliferescue.ca/wildlifecentres/?care=squirrel for assistance if I'm not available!

IMPORTANT NOTE: It is ILLEGAL to harbour wildlife in Ontario. The rule is this : "all rehabilitated immature wildlife outside a rabies High Risk Area shall be released as close as possible to where it was found up to a maximum distance of 15 km. The maximum release distance for adult wildlife will remain at 1 km".

�NOTE OF CAUTION!!!!! If you are faced with no hope of help for the orphan and are willing to let your moral obligation over-ride your legal one, then know this: bringing these little ones up is not for the weak.. a HUGE amount of time and energy is needed along with $$$ to invest in it's care and feeding. Also know this... That cuddly baby WILL 'wild up', and you WILL be bitten, to the bone. If you feel you canNOT invest the time, $ or energy times 100 (because this is how overburdened and frustrated you will feel some days!)... I will try to help you and lead you to the individuals and agencies that may be able to help you.

� IF YOU FIND A BABY ---> SPEED IS OF THE ESSENCE. They dehydrate very quickly... Put the baby in a towel with warm bottle of water around it and either get the baby to someone who can help, or contact me to learn how to begin re-hydration.

� Thank you for taking the time to become aware of the plights of the smaller members of our community. :)
