So far the death toll is 6 baby squirrels and 2 birds. Do you think something is killing them and putting them in there or are they just falling in? Really weird, I don’t know what to think.

I keep finding dead baby squirrels and birds in my yard pond, why?
Found baby fox squirrel-Safe to try and help?
Seems to have been abandoned and looks dehydrated but otherwise fine. Probably five to six weeks old, I think. We waited but mother never came for him.
So..I have a 2-year-old, a dog, a cat, and two rats. So..I’m wondering if I can or should take on the care of this little creature. The wild animal rehab places here in Oregon won’t raise him because these squirrels are not native to the area. So..they will put him to sleep if I bring him in! Anyway..they strongly suggested I NOT try and raise him myself because of various things: parasites and the fact that they can be aggressive towards humans when grown…and the fact it might not be safe with my small child around. My plan was to raise him till he was older/stronger and then just turn him loose. Bad idea? Any thoughts on what I was told about warnings? I’m especially worried about parasites since I JUST got a bad flea problem under control with my dog.
Any thoughts? I don’t know what to do!
Update: I found someone who had experience raising these babies and getting back into the wild. She picked him up yesterday and sounds like so far he is doing well. Yes… I know it is illegal to have raise these non-native squirrels..but so far the squirrel police have not knocked on my door…so guess I got away with that for one day. Whew!!!
i’m thinking of getting a pet baby squirrrel (HIPPIES AND TREE-HUGGERS NEED NOT REPLY)?
i’m going to buy a pet squrriel, and want to know from other people whom they’ve bought their pets at. i have a few sellers in mind. my mind is set, I’M GOING TO BUY A BABY SQUIRREL.
p.s. if any tree huggers or hippies reply i will personally kick you in the face, push you down on the ground, take all your money and a shoe.
Is there any truth to the belief that if a mother bird, rabbit etc…?
Is there any truth to the belief that if a mother bird or other animal smells human on its baby, it will kill it? The reason I ask is because none of these animals, i.e., birds, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks seem to have a problem with my hands touching the food I put out for them in my feeders.
Did this idea come from the fact that someone may have put a baby bird back into a nest it had been kicked out of to begin with?
Mississippi Baby Squirrel Adopted By Mother Cat Learns How to Purr
Video Rating: 4 / 5
May, 2008 our newly adopted (leased!) Greyhound, Ivy unexpectedly walked right up to a healthy squirrel standing stock still & quick as lightning, killed it with one shake. She dropped it & walked on, my husband behind her, his jaw agape. I went to retrieve the squirrel to reverently bury it. I ducked in the house for a shovel. Meanwhile..our daughter picked it up..with so much love.
