Video by @Joel Sartore | This leucistic red squirrel was found lying on the ground and was taken to the Wildlife Rehab Center of Minnesota (@WRCMN) for care. The squirrel was diagnosed and treated for pneumonia, an illness that often kills very young animals such as this one. As you can see, he’s now up and at it, behaving just as a squirrel should-- very active and feisty. Once the squirrel became healthy enough, he was moved to the Mammal Nursery where he was able to bond with other baby squirrels. Placing animals with others of their species often results in better rehabilitation, reduced stress and helps to avoid human bonding.
Since fall temperatures can drop below freezing, squirrels that are released this time of year go to their new “homes”: nest boxes in volunteers’ yards. The volunteers mount these boxes in trees and scatter a small amount of food throughout the yard for the first couple weeks in order to give the squirrels a bit of a boost this time of year. This particular squirrel was released just a couple weeks ago and now lives free in the wild.
The Wildlife Rehab Center of Minnesota (@WRCMN) is one of the oldest and largest wildlife rehab centers in the nation. They continue to function solely through donations, the generosity of volunteers, and the goodwill of the residents of Minnesota.
