When they found the baby squirrel sleeping in their bed, Christina and Michael didn't know what to do.
One day, Michael returned home and realized that there was something very strange in his bed.At first glance they might appear to be debris, but when he got closer he discovered that it was a small squirrel's nest made of twigs, leaves, and pine cones.
A cunning squirrel had chosen that place to make it the nest of its two newborn babies. It seems that a nearby construction that deforested a lot forced the mother squirrel to find a new home.
Michael and Christina are big animal lovers, so they tried to help the little ones reunite with their mom again.
But, the curious squirrel was very determined that this was the place for her young and she did not stop bringing branches to reinforce her nest every day.Unfortunately, there came a day when the mother of the squirrels did not return. Squirrels usually make their nests in hollow trees, but if they don't get one they can nest almost anywhere.
Everything started to go downhill and shortly after its mother's absence, one of the baby squirrels passed away.A local vet came by to see if all was well with the squirrel that was left alive, explaining to Michael and Christina that this little girl had very little chance of surviving without her mother's company.She needed someone to help and accompany her during her first months of life.The couple and their squirrel live in New York City, in the United States.
Without further thought, Michael and Christina took up the task and gave her the name Thumbelina, which means Thumbelina in English. The little girl turned into a very particular squirrel and since she had never been able to really interact with other squirrels, she seemed very happy in the human world. Thumbelina was cared for by her parents, who constantly fed her milk from a bottle.Even after eating his first solid food, the little squirrel didn't want to let go of his bottle of formula. Unlike any other squirrel, it is not interested in running, climbing or jumping. She is very calm: she loves to walk and sit and wait for the arrival of her new parents.
Thumbelina is very peculiar and does not enjoy being outdoors, the cold bothers her; instead he prefers to stay at home eating his favorite delicacies: avocados and peas.Now Thumbelina is quite a celebrity and has more than 200 thousand followers on her social networks.
