Falling Squirrels! | Squirrel Removal From Attic

About a month ago one of our friends reached out letting us know they had found 3 baby squirrels that had fallen out of their nest. The mother squirrel had been nesting in their car port, which they were unaware of until the babies had fallen out. She contacted me for advice on how to proceed with the situation. 

At this point we were unsure if the mother squirrel was still around as some babies will accidentally fall out of their nest in their attempt to find mom if she hasn’t been back for them in a while. The homeowners were not opposed to allowing the squirrels to nest in their car port so I advised them to place the babies back in their nest and to watch to see if the mother returns.

After keeping watch and monitoring the activity around the nest they were pleased to see the mother return to her babies. This mother squirrel must have concluded that the location of the nest was no longer a safe place to keep her babies due to the disturbance and decided to relocate her babies.

All in all, a feel good story!
