Flying squirrel in the BED!

[OccamsTazer]

Josh went up to our loft to get a book, and there was a FLYING SQUIRREL in our BED!

This was immediately followed by 30 minutes or so of mad dashery around the house with a towel, trying to nab it. It's currently trapped in a trash can, I guess we'll let it outside tonight.
Huh, I knew the scritching I've been hearing in the walls sounded bigger than mice!
Living in a cabin in the woods is constant adventure.

LOL! Oh how cute? I love flying squirrels. My ex husband and I used to get them in bird houses that we had nailed to trees. It was so fun peeking in those boxes to see the little fuzzy babehs. I haven't seen any, outside of a lady who rescues them and carries them around in her pocket, for years!

Awwww! I love them. Haven't ever seen one outside of a pet shop though. We've had bats in the house- that's always fun

This is our flying squirrel when he was a couple of months old. I bottle fed him since he was a pinkie when the cat brought him to me after a bad wind/thunderstorm. He is quite a hoot and loves to fly off the top of the blinds LOL!

Sure it wasn't a sugar glider?

That is a flying squirrel, not a sugar glider, they have stripes on their heads, and sugar gliders don't have as bushy tails.

Sugar gliders are nocturnal. I don't think the squirrels are.

Flying squirrels are nocturnal

Now that's unique. You must have been pretty startled!
