Motionless squirrel moments from death
This little guy was found on the side of the road, and it's future owners tried to buy unique essay and move him thinking he was dead. But when his eyes fluttered open they knew they had to try and do something.
Never let me go
They nursed him back to health by constantly keeping him warm in the crook of their neck and fed him tiny meals. When he was ready to be let go you can guess what happened...he was not happy about it.
Second chance at life
His previous injuries had left him weaker than an average healthy squirrel, and when he tried to climb a tree he fell and was injured AGAIN. So this family decided to adopt him as a permanent member once they had nursed him back to health a second time.
Arttu
They named him arttu and were shocked at how domestic he was. Pretending to hide in plants was one of his hobbies.
Play fights
Have you ever batted at your cat or dog with your hands? Yeah? Well this nugget did as well, and knew just how hard he could and couldn't bite.
You won't believe where he slept!
Arttu didn't have his own sleeping space because he slept with his family! They always had to have some sort of pocket on because that's the only place where he could soundly sleep!
Familial protection
He ended up recognizing his family and would get extremely territorial if a stranger came around.
Hanging around
Anything his "parents" were doing wasn't off limits for his curiosity.
Domesticated except for his palate
Arttu may have become man's best friend, but he still ate the traditional squirrel food such as nuts, fruits, berries, and mushrooms.
High maintenance
This was one pampered pet, he even got his toenails trimmed!
Handy man
He even takes the time to hang up Christmas ornaments. Now this sure is some super squirrel!
