I am not quite sure squirrels count as a farm animal but our family has rescued two of the cutest baby squirrels ever! One day Dad brought them home. Apparently they had fallen out of their nest somehow and they were in the road. The boys were so excited! They love pet squirrels. Can you see Brandon's? She is on his left shoulder. We rescued about 8 baby squirrels a few years ago when central FL was hit with 3 major hurricanes. At that time, Brandon was too young to have one of the squirrels for his very own. This time he is older so we gave him one of the squirrels. Her name is Sandy and she didn't even have her eyes opened when we got her. He had to bottle feed her for a few weeks. I must say he has been very responsible and has taken such good care of his new pet. Bradley's squirrel, Maurice (don't ask me why he chose that name!) came a few days later. She was found in the same area. She is a little older. Thankfully, they are both girls!! In Brandon's own words, "Squirrels are more fun than a pet hamster, as affectionate as a dog, and very smart too!" Mom says, "At least it's not a pet snake!!"
Have a great day,
Pam
