28 Comments on Squirrel Being Hand Fed in the Wild Suddenly Goes Catatonic
Call me crazy, I live in the country with plenty of critters and there is no way I try to hand feed them. I’m not particularly thrilled when some deer become too eager to stand way too close when I toss out corn.

Stage fright.

Looks like a miniature goat

That’s nuts.

What was going through that little peanut brain? I’m thinking nothing.

sometimes you feel like a nut …. sometimes you don’t

Bionic squirrel having multiple software crashes, and reboots. Probably caused by a flaky chip malfunctioning when it gets to hot or a cold soldier joint.

We used to hand feed the Chipmunks and the Kaibab Squirrels up in the White Mountains all the time, we would actually bring 20lbs of peanuts every trip up there. It was fun and we got a kick out of it.

Yeah, well just wait a few minutes when the caffeine from all those coffee beans kicks in!

That appears to be some sort of wee boomer. They are smart. Very much smarter that the smartest democrat. Jennifer and I came home from grocery shopping one day and found a dead boomer under the big truck. He was on his back, his teeth showing, and stiff as a board. I said, “The dogs killed the boomer!”
Jennifer said, “Poor boomer!”
I picked up the fucking rat (to throw him in the burn barrel) and he woke up, writhed out of my hand, and disappeared into the cosmos.

He gave up @1:06…arms folded in…done.

he paused to reflect on the generosity of the ape or he’s allergic to nuts

Coffee beans soaked in LSD will do that to you.

Little guy was having flashbacks from all those Owsley double domes he took back in the 60s.

That’s some pretty squirrely behavior.

squirrels are everywhere, yet I’ve never seen one take a dump. Not once, never. Where do they do it?

Error 404: nut not found.

He suddenly realized that he’d left his mask at home–and froze.

Emailed the video to a friend in Murmansk. He thinks it’s a squirrel species found in Siberia, fwiw.
Maybe his little brain got a shot of winter chilled blood that had been hiding in his tail all summer till it thawed out, and got brain freeze.

That squirrel must be an enemy of Putin!

There are goats who freeze and fall over as a survival mechanism (for the rest of the herd apparently). Possibly the same type of hardwired behavior to freeze stock still and not draw a predators attention.
Not so unusual. I have a deck squirrel that freezes in various postures for minutes at a time.
HE’S NUTS
It probably heard something Nancy Pelosi said.

We have a resident tree rat that teases the hell out of the cats, knowing they can’t reach him through the window.
How about this crazy squirrel. It’s probably infected with a bot fly larva which is driving him nuts. https://youtu.be/asfKrqzMx9I

That was Nasty Nazi Nan when she heard Ruth Butcher Ginsburg was dead.
No surprise there – humans go catatonic from too many handouts too.
