Paul taylor Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Really beautiful animals just a shame I've only ever seen them in pictures :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Beautiful. Will she be able to go back to the wild, or does hand rearing make them too domesticated to be able to fend for themselves? Sorry Jerry, I'm showing my ignorance when it comes to squiddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsrjerry Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 With a bit of luck she should be able to go back to the woods that is always my aim, yes they do become imprinted but getting out in the bigger pen they soon start to shy away from you. Just got another kitten last night very young eyes not open as yet he will certainly be a challenge but we will give it our best shot, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 How would the anti shooting brigade ever understand how you could post pictures of the dead greys which you have shot and then others showing your reared red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisheruk Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well done Jerry, and best of luck with the new one. It seems to have been a good breeding season for squirrels generally. We are having reports of reds spreading out from their strongholds and populating areas where they have not been seen for some time. Keep up the good work.

kingo15 Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 How would the anti shooting brigade ever understand how you could post pictures of the dead greys which you have shot and then others showing your reared red?

Get the numbers up so they start moving south more please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsrjerry Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Well done, keep up the good work, out of interest what happened to the parents of the two you mention ? Dont know mate , My guess is and a guess at that is the mother was maybe carrying them to move them ? dropped them for some reason and has not returned in both cases the kittens were left for several hrs before being picked up , shame really better off with there mothers but suppose thats nature and they at least stand a bit of a chance now being hand reared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
