baby squirrel eating banana

A video of baby squirrel eating a piece of banana.





I want one too.
Nope, I didn't mean a piece of banana, but a baby squirrel.

So lovely,but i want that piece of banana first,afterwards,the baby will come to pray for me for the banana,then they baby squirrel will be mine.Finally,i get the baby squirrel.Haha!
I just know that monkeys and me like eating bananas,i have never seen a squirrel eating banana like that.Except bananas,are there other favorite foods for squirrels.

Squirrels usually eat nuts, but they will also eat any fruit as well as bird eggs sometimes. This baby squirrel might not have the teeth required for hard food such as nuts yet.

Oh,will they bite people when they feel hungry?:bowdown:don't bite me,i'm scared.

It's squirrels we are talking about. Not rats. Meat is not their natural diet. Although I was bit once by a squirrel when I tried to hand feed it, I believe it was a mistake on the squirrel's part as it was reaching the nuts in my hand.

Pretty cute video! I loved the little lip smacking, sucking sounds it was making! haha
It didn't appear that it was actually taking any bites, just kind of "gumming" the banana. I would assume a baby squirrel has teeth though. I've never known anyone to have a pet squirrel, but I bet it would make as good of a pet as any other rodent. I wouldn't mind having one as a pet! My husband has wanted to go squirrel hunting for years, but I won't allow it. They're just too darn cute!

I had some chipmunks babies once for pets. Their mom had gotten hit by a car. They were easy to care for we feed them milk with a eye dropper and a bottle, and later feed them birdseed and cracked nuts and fruit.

We let them loose when they were old enough and they hung around our porch for years geting free hand-outs.

He is an adorable little thing. He looked like he was having a hard time with that banana. Do squirrells normally eat fruits? We are so fortunate to live in an area that has an abundance of wildlife. I sometimes will buy sunflower seeds for the squirrels in our backyard. We also have black and red squirrels in our area.

Yes, squirrels love fruit, and bananas seem to be a favorite. I've help hand raise quite a few baby squirrels and have helped care for injured adults at a wildlife center. Even if the squirrel doesn't seem to have much of an appetite, they'll almost always eat a piece of banana. They also like grapes and apples, and even some veggies.

For babies, we give them squirrel formula (if we don't have that, Esbilac puppy formula will work) until they can eat solid foods. I don't recommend cow's milk, as it doesn't have quite the same nutrition and can make many squirrels sick. At the wildlife center, we frequently get calls from people saying, "I've been taking care of a baby squirrel the past week. He was doing fine, but he's really sick today all of a sudden!" 9 times out of 10, we find out that the people were feeding the squirrel cow's milk. Sometimes we can get the squirrel healthy again, but sometimes we can't.

Thats adorable , I so jealous of the person that go to film this I had the opportunity to help take care of some baby racoons that came into our clinic , they were very cute but immensely hard to care for. Always up to something with those dextrous hands of theirs It was a bittersweet moment when we found them a home at a rehabilitation centre.
