i do tree removal for a living. we have squirrel nests all the time to remove when we take out trees.
well, its that time of year.... they are having lil bastard squirrel babys. actually, i cant help but to not hate them when they are little alien looking bastards.
anyways... we knocked a nest out of a tree today not knowing there was any in there, and 3 babies came out unable to move on their own... we picked the up with gloves on, and set them in the wooded area. the mother was going nuts while this went on.
ive read rabbits will kill their babies in this event, if the bunnies smell like the people after you move them.
will squirrels do this also or will they try to rescue / save them?
my guess is they are cat food by now... oh well, we tried. so... will the mothers usually save the babies????
