The more you meet people the more you understand why Noah took animals instead of humans?

screw you Oregon Department of Wildlife Terrestrial Invasive Species & Wildlife Integrity Coordinator 503-947-6308
There is no evidence that the actions of rehabilitating these animals has any impact whatsoever on Oregon's Native wildlife populations
it approached me while making hungry noises tail flagging & curling its poofy tail over its back , i saw it try to eat moss from tree bark
i had to work to capture it , then it buried its head in my pockets & refused to move, so i was now a tree nest!,
jext it was fast asleep in my sleeping bag in my tent & so i went out for supplies & contacted any wildlife rehabilitators & or sources for their emails & or phone numbers
later while trying to feed the baby squirrel some DIY pedialite it bolted & i lost track of it ,, his name was bub bup because thats all he ever said
all wildlife help organizations responded in the saddest way , let it die! & only one of the contacts replied, with another helpers information that i had contacted earlier that day
although they all were intentionally introduced to urban areas as pets and watchable wildlife in the early 1920s Oregon requires that all species designated as ‘non-native’ wildlife -- whether prey or predator; newly introduced or resident for over a century; vital to the food chain, beneficial, or redundant; old, young, infant, orphaned, injured, or otherwise-- be euthanized on admittance to Oregon wildlife rehabilitaton centers.
a hopeful note! =, Fox squirrels open their eyes around 5 weeks of age, begin to climb around the nest tree around 7-8 weeks and venture onto the ground aroundwith mom by their side. by 12 weeks of age & Dislike handling, will refuse formula,
Coat should be well developed with a bushy tail, Can hang upside down, grooms more, playing, wrestling, pouncing tail should be fully furred butt the under..
