Squirrel meteorites
Back again to ask if anybody might shed some light on this. Standing
on my deck last night when THUD, a baby squirrel hits the decking from a nest about 45' above, looked dead. Suddenly, THUD, THUD, two more hit. Holy Crap, it's raining tree rat babies. All three are dead still. Then THUD, THUD two more hit. I see movement in the nest above but cannot see whats happening. I notice the babies are amazingly still alive and are blinking so I gather up all 4 cats and two dogs and put em inside. After a couple minutes, the final two get to their feet and run down off the deck. After about 10 minutes, the first three begin to move. One keeps looking at my daughter and then runs to her and up her arm. In the next hour, the final two that were less stunned go somewhere, I think the mother may have rescued them. The three that were more stunned we put in a box with a towel where they fell asleep. This morning, we took em to wildlife rescue. So, what would cause this rain of squirrel babies? Mass suicide? A crazed squirrel mother? Maybe a snake got up there and they all jumped out of fear? |

Did you remove your shoes when you were standing under them? Don, little buddy. Your replies are getting dumber with every post. Am no fan of squirrels, they eat all my pecans and make the dogs crazy. However, my 14 yr old daughter saying "Awwww, they're so cute all sleeping" means they cannot be cat food or prey for the hawks. I've seen squirrels fall from extreme heights before and they seem to be able to get back up a few minutes later and run off. These little guys hit hard, serious THUD right onto the hard deck, like falling beanbags. |

She probably didn't understand the concept of the hard "forest floor" she was pushing them out onto... Lot's of tree dwelling creatures do this to their young when it's time... Is this what your mom did to you? Did you land on your head? |
