Macadamia and Pistachio

I would like everyone to meet a spunky, energetic someone...oh, and she's not the squirrel.  Meet Terez, the foster mother for the above dears:

That's her hand there.  :)  She raised two squirrels, Macadamia and Pistachio, from four months of age, to strapping, young squirrel teens.  She got them from the Wildlife Rescue Team, Inc. 

 

Now, meet the dears: Macadamia’s the girl, she has a more orange belly, Pistachio is the boy

I got to hold Macadamia several times. Once she even fell asleep in my hands!

Here she's being difficult.

So cute. They chew a lot.

Terez says when they were tiny, they grew so fast you could see the difference the next day!

Weird fact-squirrels do not carry rabies.

When they are little, a squirrel tail resembles a rat's. It get poofier with age.

 Are they not adorable? Terez gave the dears back to the society and now they are going through wildlife boot camp so they can live like other squirrellies.
