Squirrels that were rescued from my moped

One day about two months back we found three offsprings of a squirrel under the seat of my unused moped. Some dogs of our friend sniffed them . We took the small off springs and put them in a basket along with the nest. I was worried about how to feed them. They were very tiny and used to mother's milk only. I put drops of milk through an ink-filler. The siblings started to drink the milk. For two or three days I found it difficult to feed them. Every two hours I used to feed them by putting drops of milk. Afterwards they are used to the ink-filler -filler feeding and theystarted holding the ink-filler and drink the milk. I am the mother for them now. Slowly when they started to grow I started to feed them with nuts and fruits. Now they have become part of my family. They used plasy with us very nicely. They would play on me. After a month or so they started to go out of the house and climb up the guava tree and mango tree that are gwon in my compound. But in the evening all the three would return to the house and sleep in the basket. After somedays
they did not want to confine themselves inthe basket and they used to sleep on my collar of my shirt. I found a solution for their peaceful sleep by folding the curtain of my house into a craddle. Now they sleep daily in the curtain-craddle. At 7.00 a.m they would leave the house. and return back home at about 5.pm. In between one particular squirrel which is attached to me would visit us when I take food and eat out of my plate. These photos I have published. Let God give them long life and exdpand their family.
