Welcome to Acorn Acres, where squirrels run the show, chipmunks do the gardening, and hardhats are a safety precaution in Autumn.
Mostly posting bushy-tailed bandits, occasional deer drama, and the odd raccoon who thinks he's James Bond.
Follow us if you like chaos with fur. ๐ฟ๏ธ
Our sick little squirrel we posted Monday hasn't been seen since Monday night after he came by for dinner, soaked from the thunderstorm. We fear the worst, but take solace he's out of pain now. Even if we'd been able to catch him, it seems unlikely now that even a vet could have saved him. RIP little one. You'll have endless nuts & seeds in Heaven with no chipmunks stealing them or goosing your tail end, no hawks hunting you, and the softest nests to rest your weary paws. ๐๐ฟ
Our poor little sick fella showed up last night after a severe storm swept through. He looked half drowned from the rain. All the other squirrels managed to find a dry place to ride out the weather, so not sure where this guy was when it hit. You can see he's still struggling to eat. I tried to get close to him later, after he ate, but he ran off again.
We had more rain overnight and I haven't seen him yet this morning. More than a little worried about him.
Ah, yes... the North American raccoon [Banditas Rascalus]
The raccoon, when recorded, fumbles around looking for food with its hands, seemingly as blind as Mr Magoo - but don't let that fool you. These little trash disposals can crack an ISM Super Platinum safe in 15 minutes if there's juicy fish filet inside. Sure, they're cute and fluffy until you try to share their bowl of popcorn and wind up with a hand full of razor sharp teeth. While they are more friendly than your Florida "swamp puppy", it's recommended you buy the stuffed version of these masked mammals rather than the living ones.... unless you're Russian, but then your pet bear would likely eat it.
