Love it - years ago I did wildlife rehabilitation for about 7 years - I was the "bunny lady" and rehabilitated baby bunnies in my home and still volunteered lots of my time at the Center on top of my full time job.

Lots of feeding and it is hard work but it's rewarding - squirrels, rabbits, skunks, raccoons, possums, birds, groundhogs, fawns, snakes, turtles etc. We didn't do larger animals like birds of prey but would take them in and stabilize, then transfer them to a larger facility.

But he fed the squirrel paint! How cruel!

lmfao - I thought the same thing - that formula looks much darker than what we fed the squirrels and when I saw what you said I had to laugh - but that would be an awful death for the baby squirrel if that was paint

Thought this was a thread dedicated to Bob Ross

Lmaooooo I honestly did too. I now wish I never paid attention and He was never brought up. I don't know how to incorporate Bob Ross into rl and how to explain this sudden fascination to people, because it makes me laugh and cry at the same damn time and I can't dxp at work now. Lol @ the video- he has to go "to work", he tells the squirrel, in a serious tone too.

Now every time you see a squirrel you're going to snicker
