Hard To Catch
But the family did struggle to catch Bella so that they could help her get better though. She was not one to like getting touched so she would try and run away every time. “My first few attempts at catching her have failed. She has lived in the wild for over eight years so she is a smart squirrel and it is not easy to trick her,” Brantley gave an insight on Instagram.
One More Surprise
But after they tried several times, they could finally catch poor Bella to nurse her to get well and active again. When they finally caught hold of Bella, they did their best to improve the foot injury that she had met with. The family was already convinced that she had shown them every weird quirk about herself but before leaving, she had one more surprise.
3 New Babies
It turned out that Bella was actually pregnant all along. During the time she was recovering from her foot injury, she welcomed three baby squirrels! “It was truly amazing to watch the baby I raised raise her own babies,” Harrison claimed.
All Praises For Bella
Bella really did make a very positive impact on the whole family. Harrison was giving all praises when talking about her,’‘She is a very special squirrel and has always had a large local following. She has changed the way many of my friends think of squirrels, especially the ones she has met. The kids just love to come over and feed her.”
Squirrels > Rodents
We often associate squirrel and rodents together. While it may be very easy to box together squirrels and rodents, we must remind ourselves that squirrels can actually be friendly and can show emotions. Bella is sure proof that squirrels can turn out to be such amazing house pets! After all her adorable and spontaneous behavior, who can argue with this statement?
Newton’s Law
Brantley explained, “If Bella can teach at least one person to have compassion for all living things, no matter how big or how small, then we have done what we have set out to do.” The little squirrel might not know this or might never be aware of the impact she has on the family, but it is truly amazing to see both parties affect each other so positively.
