A soft release is best. This means don't just dump the squirrel out somewhere. Give the squirrel some time to get used to the sounds and actions of birds and other wildlife. The best way to do this is have a cage outside and put the squirrel in it to live for at least a couple of weeks, preferrably a month or more. Then one day, open the door and let the squirrel come out on his/her own. Make sure you block the door opening so it's only big enough for the squirrel to come and go. Use a piece of cage wire cut to fit over the door opening. Then cut an hole 2.5inches x 2.5inches in the new piece of wire for the squirrel to use (make hole just big enough for squirrel). This way the squirrel can come and go while you provide food until he/she is on his/her own. Don't worry about him/her not wanting to go. He/she will in due time. Mother Nature will kick in. |
