....that Avocado is like CRACK to Squirrels...


I fed this one little Fox/Red some and he devoured it with all the attendant snorts and wild grabbing at it with his little paws. When it was over, this is what I saw:

Notice the green, sticky fingers. This could be any kid with chocolate ice cream all over them.
YOU MUST CLICK ON THIS PIC TO ENLARGE IT TO GET THE FULL MONTY!!!
After this, I learned to buy the ones that are less ripe and give it to them in cubes that were not so messy.

It's the tail end of baby squirrel season, and my new role as a temporary in-home rehabber, officially sub licensed, has been both a joy and a privilege. It has also hijacked my life and worn on me the way only motherhood can. *taking a moment to bow to all mothers*

I at least would have posted more pictures with short little hellos but I ran into some technical difficulties that I have now solved.

I will write more soon.
