 Also. Red squirrel. Found in mulch delivery.

 Damn you going to keep it? Squirrels can be great pets. I’ve always wanted one… 
 The goal is to keep them wild and release them once they grow up. My wife is a licensed rehabber. I'm just some schmuck 😂

But it is hard to not coddle the little bastards.  
 If you pinch his skin and it sticks together, he is dehydrated. Could feed him some kitty milk 
 I raised a squirrel. It's was an amazing experience. They will come back when you call their name. You will have to release it when it starts checking through wires. 
 We've only got grays though 😭
Tomorrow is trying to find a local rehabber who might have reds. 

Honestly a rare sight, I'm trying to think of the last time I saw one around. Although I'm not usually looking 😂 
 Truthfully I'm afraid to name them this young. Unless we trade for more reds it probably isn't staying here. But for the night it's been hydrated. 

We had a one once we named Peapod (during my Bob Ross kick) but we released him.  
 Seems fine, eyes still shut. No injuries. Honestly for being in a pile of mulch you'd think it have been crushed. But. Just needs some help growing up. 🫂 
 Also not our mulch delivery 😂. She just knows every animal control officer in adjacent towns.
