A young man called the wildlife hospital two weeks ago to ask for advice regarding an adult fox squirrel in his yard. The squirrel had gotten its head stuck in a yogurt cup!
Staff advised the gentleman on how to capture the squirrel and he was able to bring her to the hospital. Squirrels have very large teeth and very strong jaws and are capable of a nasty bite!
Once staff was wearing the right protective equipment, they held the squirrel and gently pulled her head out of the yogurt cup. Aside from some yogurt on her whiskers, she looked great and she was returned to her home! Help wildlife by properly and safely disposing of all trash!
