How/where/why did you 'get' them?

We uhhhhh found their nest with a chainsaw when cutting down a tree. One was injured and one was substantially injured so we couldnt even try to reunite them with their mom.

I found caring for them to be really rewarding. I didn't expect them to come back after we released them, but the fact that they do gives me warm fuzzies.

Yeah. SO has rehabbed squirrels before and I get very attached so He wanted me very very aware that anything could happen including releasing them and them immediately getting eaten by a hawk right in front of me. LOL.

One of the 4 was never seen again after release, but the other three still like our bribes.

Bad ? Many a meal was squirrel when I was a kid. Money was short, but squirrels, rabbits, deer were plentiful. A chuck steak every two weeks on payday was a treat.
