So cute so absolutely cuute! <3 I like their names :D Shakespeare and Luna. Thats good thing that you could release them into wild when they have grown up. You are a true nature friend like iam :) Cheers mate! Well done. Too bad that squirrel specie doesn't live in Europe.

They're just SO happy that first time they get to run around outside that I actually enjoy letting them go. I usually see them at my feeders later, too. But I can understand, they are easy to get attached to.

They didn't have teeth, their main diet was milk at the time.

Correct! These squirrels were not living off of Cheerios, they got a milk replacement formula for their meals. Once they start to get teeth they start practicing chewing, which is what the Cheerio was for. You'll notice they weren't able to actually eat it.

They don't really make easy pets, these were released back to the wild as adults.
