A tree rat has been trying to get to my bird feeder for some time.
I use my Red Rider BB gun to chase it away.......

The mother knew it was deformed or sickly. We had ducks and the mother would put all the ducklings in the water. Occasionally one duckling would drown. Same thing with litters of dogs and cats. We had coyotes and the runts will be gone if you left them out overnight.We are going to try to get this one released to the wild if we can. I'm not certain but think this one is either a runt of a litter ot may have had other problems. Not gonna be big so I think a runt. Might have been the mother getting him out of a nest ..
Don't we all, lol.My dad had a pet squirrels when he was a kid. He said they get mean when they get older.
I had a friend whose family had a pet skunk named "Kitty". She was a delightful little animal, slept most of the day came out in the evening and was very tame and personable, loved attention. She was never de-skunked, raised with kids and dogs. You knew there was a skunk in the area, they do have an odor about them, but it was not what I would call unpleasant. Ferrets can stink as well.Racoons make the Best pets provided you get them very young. Of course they have to be released or fixed when they “ become of age”.
