More Babies!

[keschete]

Well, I am stuck! With Isaac and the extremely warm year, we have had a bumper crop of baby grey squirrels. I stopped officially rehabbing wildlife 15 years ago, but I help out when we have a bad year.

Well, I am an hour from the nearest licensed rehabbers, all the New Orleans people have at least 20 babies, still, that will need to be over wintered because they are too small to be released before the cold weather.

I thought I was out of the woods, but got 3 babies in the last week. None of my contacts can take them. It has been almost 20 years since I built a cage. My husband does not participate in the wildlife stuff. SOOOOO, I am in process of building a cage. Hehehe, thought I would share for those interested.

I am using 1 x .5 inch wire with crab trap (hog rings) rings as fasteners and fence posts as a frame. Not finished yet, still have to put in a shelf, door, top, bottom and nestbox. It should do for the winter.....

The hubby wasn't laughing after the progress I made so far....I will be finishing it for Thanksgiving, instead of roasting a turkey....
