We saved the little white, and he showed us real chaos
In August 2023, Muscovite Anastasia Shcherbakova picked up a little white in the park. The squirrel was called Ola, and since then she has been living at their house. Shcherbakova told the "cold" how the squirrel gets along with cats, helps to make new acquaintances and teaches to accept chaos around.
Squirrel cannot be controlled, it constantly steals and hides something. We are very happy, although we pumped patience to the maximum
Now we have six selected cats and protein. When we decided to leave Olu for ourselves, we had four cats. But just a couple of weeks after the appearance of the squirrel, we had two more kitten and a puppy - also from the street. We live in our three -room apartment, therefore there are enough space, and there are no conflicts with the owners, as is the case with those who rent housing. But in principle, there is a feeling that we are renting a house in animals.
We found Olu with my boyfriend when we were at the northern river station and returned home through the park. We look - there is a crowd. I immediately thought that there are proteins, I say: "Let's go, let's see!" It turned out that in the middle of the crowd, the little squirrel rushed about - all so lost, disoriented. It was evident that he was not very good, and he went to people that the proteins are not characteristic.
We googled the signs of rabies at the protein - they were not. Meanwhile, the little squirrel himself went into his hands to my boyfriend. His muzzle was broken, in the blood. Most likely, due to windy weather, he fell from a tree: when the trees swing, small lures may not stay on a branch or hollow and fall out. He weighed, as we learned later, 78 grams.
Love can also become addiction to this destroys life and leads to unhealthy relations. This is how people cope with this society
In protein, the age is determined by the teeth. My boyfriend used to have rats, so he guessed to look like that. We googled, then looked and determined that the squirrel at that time was 40–45 days. We spent two hours there in the park, because we thought: suddenly a mother-white is looking for him. We looked closely how other squirrels behave with him, tried to slip him to them. But they all ignored him. The likelihood that the dogs will be buried in the park or the crows were higher than the fact that it will find a woman-white.
At first we tried to attach it somewhere. They called the Moscow Zoo, but they were not ready to take it to themselves. We began to call private nurseries, which are arranged by the type of farms - they sometimes take such animals to themselves. But there no one wanted to take the little white to him.
There was still a girl - also an indifferent passerby - she called with us to all these places. At this time, the squirrel climbed my boyfriend into the sleeve of his jacket and fell asleep.
The Messenger of Chaos
We suspected that if the little squirrel fell from the tree, he may have a concussion, and decided to show it to the ratologist - a veterinarian who treats rodents. The veterinary clinic confirmed that he had a slight concussion. We left him under the supervision of a doctor to see if everything was in order, washed him a muzzle. The little squirrel did not resist much.
After that, the guy began to persuade me because he loves rodents. And I resisted: this is a squirrel ... Well, it's not a hamster, this is a squirrel! But she sat in a cage, so tiny, and I began to melt. As a result, I suggested that he call my mother and try to convince her, because my mother is responsible for rationality in situations, but she also loves animals. In general, he convinced her, she was imbued with, and we, after the squirrel spent the night in the clinic, took her to him.
It would be possible to let her go, but we were told that it was not a fact that she could find food. No one gave no guarantees that she survived on the street, and this in many ways influenced why we took her. We watched this little lump of squeaks, eats nuts, sorting out with paws. How can you leave it alone? And in captivity in good conditions, proteins can live for seven to eight years.
We bought her a house. At first she lived in him and in some box in the living room. And then, very soon, the girl that we met in the park gave us a large cage, which she had from chinchilla. And Ola began to live in her.

We found an absolutely great forum of home protein owners. Not only we have homemade proteins in Russia. Basically they are kept in private houses: there you can settle them in the aviary so that they can be on the street. But there are those who live proteins, like ours, in apartments. In general, we read the forum, went and ordered her all sorts of shelves to decorate the space, bought hay, nuts - a bunch of everything for its maintenance.
Initially, we kept it in a cage and released it in the living room. This room has always been closed for animals, because there are speakers there, and when cats jump on them, there is a risk of dropping them. The squirrel was in that room, but due to the fact that we were not so often there, she was sad-single, and we dragged her into the office where we were working. Squirrels are active during the day, and at night they sleep, so there are no problems.
The cage is quite large, we installed all kinds of shelves there, made a dile to make it where to hide food, hung a soft house, a gamar. But we must come to terms with the fact that she is the messenger of Chaos: such a beautiful hammock was bought, and she tearing it all off, sprinkled an additional entrance to herself - a hole from the other side, because she is so convenient.

She crawls on furniture and feels remarkably. In one of the photos, she simply hangs out on a vacuum cleaner: she liked the ribbed texture, and that’s all. We sometimes hang a blanket on the door, and she jumps, clings, rushes on it. For us, as in trees, this is also climbing this: here I am sitting on your head, I eat a banana.
Once she was in the bathroom, hung with us, and at some point it occurred to her to swim in the toilet. I took it out and washed it, of course. When we release it in the bedroom, she can fall asleep in the hood of a sweatshirt, which hangs on a rifle-Rail.
Sometimes she gets tired of running. It happens that you are sitting, working, she lay down on the table, spread and lies, rests. Due to the fact that we found her small, she is manual-but still wayward. For example, it can grab a finger, but not much. If she wanted to bite, she could directly bite her hand, because her teeth are powerful: she can cut a walnut. But she does not bite us so much.
Our chief fuss
You can stick it endlessly on it. I can sit for a long time and observe how she digs, as we call it, the magical movement of paws: when she needs to hide something, she first clogs the object with a nose, and then raises her paws in the air and likes to masks, leads them over something hidden.
In general, to hide and “straighten” is its main classes. Our sofa is stuffed with nuts, a bookcase all in dried apricots, nuts and pumpkin seeds. If you work behind a laptop, she is trying to score some nuts into it. In our sockets, where there is a small space, also nuts, dried apricots. Funny fact: I go at home in men's panties as in shorts. And I somehow dozed off, and woke up from the fact that she puts a nut under my elastic gum.
The protein has beautiful scent and super -vomiting paws. She thorough something like that with us. I brought myself to the room, for example, a bowl of fruit where the apricot lay. The fact that the squirrel is so miniature does not prevent her from taking and stopping somewhere apricot. With such madness, she drags him somewhere to hide him, so that, God forbid, they will not take him away. Every time you leave the house and you need to drive it into a cage, a whole training with a load.
Of course, she nibbled the wires and rushed to the diaries. She is our chief vaultologist. But I already have a philosophical attitude towards this: we have cats and the dog destroyed so many things that I do not expect accuracy from the squirrel. When on one day you have a cat throws off the windowsill and breaks three bowls, because today is such a mood, you are no longer very upset that the squirrel pushed you a dried apricots into the sofa.
Her big plus is that she eats dry, dense food, and practically does not smell of her excrement. They are dense, small, you just collect them with a scoop, and that’s it. And by behavior, of course, it is unscrupulous: she poopes on the go, and she is cool. Usually she tries to go to the toilet closer to the cage, although she cannot be accustomed to the tray. But several times it was such that she was simply forgotten: sitting on your shoulder, and you feel that a stream drains on your back. We laugh that you have become like parents who say: "Oh, my angel can drink urine." And so we also think that her poop smells of nuts.
We try to entertain her. In winter, they brought her snow - she just loves him. They hid the nuts there, so she hung in a basin with snow, hid them. At that moment, the cat went into the room and this: "What the Fuck?"
Whatever chaos she suits, we never regretted that we picked it up. But I want to say: people, do not buy protein. Most often, adults are already sold, which are unlikely to be manual, like ours. If they were raised in an aviary on the street, they will be uncomfortable in the apartment. There are proteins who directly sleep on the owner, and ours had this only in childhood, and now it is more independent. She can sit on you, but there would be no such thing that she was stroked and she would sit calmly. And then: our protein is rather an exception.
We are those people who ask to bring a branch from the forest
We had a puppy on overexposure, and we took it to the zoopsychologist, because he barked a lot-he felt that somewhere was a squirrel nearby. But now we have already attached it, and it was easy to introduce the squirrel with cats. It so happened that out of six cats, three with her are super -friendly and behave calmly, and three love to play catch -up. So that Ola does not be nervous, we do not let those three catching up to her, and she gets along with the rest, plays.
She still, it happens, is plucking wool, trying to pluck them with paws. Cats are not very satisfied, of course, but they endure and maximum our cat could remove it with a paw, without claws. But unattended we do not leave them together, of course.
We ourselves, too, comb out the cats, give it wool, and she insulations the house. We bought her jute - this is a canvas for germination of seeds: she ran it and gathered a house in which she slept in the winter. She had a house we bought, but it is important for her to build a house herself.
I buried my nine -year -old son, it was unbearable, and we could not do anything. Now I am learning to live on and lead the Blog Society 30 minutes of reading about this
Everyone tells me: you need to get her a blog. But I do a lot of SMM at work, and I do not want to do this in my free time. I post a video with her in a closed Instagram. Sometimes in Storis-30-second meditation on a protein that eats a nut. And people rejoice. I am sure that from the family chat, the video is then sent to distant relatives and so on.
When guests come, this is an attraction. Children are brought to us. But she does not recognize other people like us. She is comfortable with us, she is not afraid. And strangers smell differently, and she can be scared. He will not bite, of course, but he will go into the house quickly.
In general, the presence of squirrels is a great occasion for dating. We went to the recreation center and discussed the squirrel at breakfast. A woman sat down to us, began to ask if we had a squirrel at home. So we met her, exchanged contacts. I'm already joking that you can cling to someone like this: "PSS, I have a squirrel at home, let's see."
Naturally, on my work calls, colleagues also pay attention to her, ask if there will be a protein in the frame. It was ridiculous when I called up with a psychotherapist in the first time, and she was: "I think or do you have a protein in the background?" I had to answer that yes, I have a squirrel.
Marijuana ruined my life, I spent 800 dollars a month on it. After refusal, I had a physical breakfast society 7 minutes of reading
We accidentally stumbled upon a girl in the Rils, who leads a blog about his life and shows that she has a protein. But she lives in a country house, and a squirrel in the aviary. My boyfriend wrote off her, they met protein on the basis. And this girl suggested gathering us a parcel with branches, cones. Therefore, now we are those people who ask for loved ones who are traveling out of town, bring us a branch from the forest. We send a list of trees that are suitable.
We also learned that at Avito there is a beautiful niche of people, and someone in the Altai Territory goes to the forest, collects cedar cones with nuts and sends them to other cities with whole boxes, just for such owners of rodents. A box comes, which smells of forest, in it each bump is wrapped in a napkin or a newspaper - so touching. Squirrel then cuts off such cedar cones completely, straight to the base. She can do all this instinctively.
It cannot be controlled in any way. She teaches humility and accepting chaos in her life. You need to find Zen: accept and release. After home madness, it is easier to take surrounding madness.
