Mama squirrel coming and saving baby

I found a baby squirrel in my back yard and moved it to my deck with a baby gate (to keep away from cats) in hopes that the mother would come find it. She must have been looking for him, because within 10 minutes, she started scoping out the area and planning her rescue. Though the baby does not look very active, I think he is scared because he seemed healthy but scared.
I apologize for the dog barking (so reduce the volume if using headphones or if you have a dog around that might go crazy!!). Since I was filming with my phone in my hand, there was no option to move my dog and be able to keep filming.
Thanks for watching!

  • I love how she circles around the entire porch to make sure there's no other danger lurking around ... 🥰

    Thank you for giving Mama squirrel a chance to come back and get her baby. So many people don't wait long enough to give a mama squirrel a chance to realize one of her babies is missing. They don't realize that mama squirrels don't hang out in the nest most of the time but are mostly out looking for food. They only come back to the nest to clean and feed their babies a few times a day.

    Thank God for Mothers! I am a great fan of 4 legged babies and the 2 legged kind should learn more than a thing or 2 off of their genuine sense of loyalty, love and duty.

    It's a good, warm feeling that reaches deep down to your soul when you know that because of your actions, because you took the time to care, you saved an innocents life that surely would have perished. You do it because you can.
  • Makes me happy that we still have some good people that care for animals :) thank you ....

    She had to map out a safe escape route first! How amazing! Thank you for sharing ♥️
  • That’s awesome! Thanks for taking the time to let the mom come back and get her baby. 😊❤️🐿
  • So amazing how momma squirrel checked for danger before approaching the baby... swinging her tail trying making her rounds to gain attention to see if there was any threAts... so very cool thanks for sharing 😊
  • I remember during Hurricane in the 1/2 time quiet, son went outside ! I told him to be back in as it will turn back, he brought in two baby squirrels we kept them safe in an aquarium all cuddled up in a blanket ! Hurricane finally over and sun was up ! Opened the front door and babies were crying for their momma, we took them outside, put aquarium on its side and soon enough we heard excited chirping from mamma! I was amazed she came for them !! The three darted off

    Thank you so much for leaving the baby in a safe place for mom to come find him!! This is exactly what you should do!

    I love the way momma rolls baby up into a little ball with her hands and mouth, then grabs baby's neck and tail at the same time. Seems like a great way to make sure you can safely climb back up the tree without baby falling out of your grasp. Amazing little critters! Thank you for doing the right thing and letting momma come get her baby instead of deciding you needed to "save" the baby and take it inside. Too many people think baby animals are abandoned and interfere instead of letting the parent come find baby or placing baby back in the nest when it is a bird or bunny. It's nice to see someone recognize momma WILL come looking.
