I don't want to hijack your post but your video took me back to the mid-seventies when I was finishing my medical training in London. I rescued a tiny grey squirrel kit in the street during a rainstorm. He was practically drowning beside a drain, having presumably fallen from a tree. At that time he was still almost hairless. I initially fed him warm milk from an eye dropper and as he recovered and grew over the following weeks, he built a nest in my bookshelves. I named him 'Quirrel' and it was a delight watching him develop. One particularly memorable day was when he discovered the muscle that allows squirrels to spread their front teeth, in order to actually split a nut after piercing it. Then he was off to the races, going through hazelnuts like wildfire. Until that time, he had been patiently gnawing at every one I had given him. He would race around the room using the picture rail like a racetrack, then take a flying leap on to my shoulder. Sadly, after about a year he suddenly developed the signs of distemper and died within a couple of days. He had been a messy flat mate but left me with a lifelong affection for these creatures (plus a few gnawing marks on a couple of my books!).

Roo is the perfect name because in Scottish Gaelic Ruadh (pronounced Ruag - soft g) is reddish brown (ginger!) which some people shorten to Ru (Roo). 😁🐿️👌🏼

There's a purity to raising a baby animal that nothing else can equal.

Squirrels are wonderfull🙌🏻🥹❤️such a cutiepie

this is a delightful tale! you should submit this film into a film festival. It would win awards!

Imagine a world 🌎 where we all cared for each other like this. I don’t understand sport hunters / Killing animals for fun. I hope someday they realize how beautiful these lives are

Honestly. This is better content than what's on TV these days. I wish little Roo a long, and happy life. 👍👍

The safe smells are also mom. there's no undoing that. The best case scenario is he lives in the wild but will return every so often. Dani is attached now whether she wants to be or not.

That's precious. Every time I see one of these stories, I am completely convinced that the love we show to animals reveals our true humanity and that is the first step to peace in this world.

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. There is a way for humanity to be restored to where it should Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know x

Beautiful lady, beautiful squirrel

When they feel secure enough, they will be with you for ever in your pockets wherever you go. I had both my squirrels in my pockets all the time day & night they never left me. It makes them feel secure with you

You’re a very good person, and I how and pray that you have a long and happy life. The world needs more people like you.

What a very special and precious squirrel mom you are. Hard work but so rewarding. Thanks for having a kind heart.

I have always loved squirrels. When I lived in Hollywood Hills in a rustic cabin a squirrel would come and scratch our window from the citrus tree, she came in and ate some seeds and enjoyed her time, if we were at sleep and didnt open she would scream down our chimney to get attention hahah. And once a squirrel had gotten trapped in our air vent without us being able to locate exactly where, and for days this random squirrel would pace outside our windows, our doors, and eventually launched inside the house, I was so surprised at its determination, it ran down our stairs to the bottom floor and stopped outside our bathroom. I immediately understood as we had tried to locate the noice in our air vents, I unscrewed the vent and inside was a dead squirrel, still warm. I was so heart broken that we came that close to rescuing it. I still get sad today, as I think of the mate that looked for his loved one.

I love to See you in care for this cute Natur creation. This for Sure makes a different in Our life. Thank from the heart❤

Oh Dani you sweet Lady! It is very time consuming to raise a little one like this. You all in and I love your animal loving heart ❤️

sub is done Dani Coonor.All the best from Zoo Wroclaw in Poland, make sure it is returned to the forest at RIGHT TIME.Also all the best from Banbury.Fingers cross😄👍

I, too, have raised a squirrel. I was in my yard. He just came up to me. He had ants all over him and no mommy. He was also missing a toenail. I named him Rocky because my Dad loved Rocky and Bullwinkle the cartoon. I know exactly what you are going through! ❤

Thank you for be a wonderful person and the love and care you give to this little and gorgeous baby ❤❤

❤ They are so much fun. My husband used to work for a tree company. They cut down a tree, have a nest with 3 little pinkies. In it he brought them home for me. I raised them as soon as they were allowed to open a walnut. They had to go back to the wild. It was difficult to they stayed around the yard. We built them a house. They came to visit every once in a while. They brought their family members back. It was an experience I'll never forget

You are a beautiful person, thank you

Keep him safe, and please keep us informed on his long life with you.He needs a couple of friends.This crazzy world we live in, and you and your stories help me power threw another day.😊we love Roo maybe a 📖 📕 book on his life = Roo and you..❤😊

your goal is truly noble to set free this squirrel best regard

It is going to be interesting to see how this little squirrel transitions from indoors to outdoors and then into the wild.

Beautiful God bless you both

Roo is thriving. You are taking such amazing care with him. It is a joy to watch him and his behaviors. Thank you!

Not sure who's more smitten, lol! Beautifully filmed, enchanting.

I love squirrels . Thank you for rescuing this sweet li'l boo. I'm sure your life is already more rewarding for having this unconditional lover in your life. Bless🙏😍🐿💕💓💗❤️

A little character on his way to grow into the most famous red squirrel, every lovely episode a little more✨ The way he presents himself, almost as if aware of the service he renders to his fellow species by growing straight into our hearts, along with his human mother and the team behind💖

So sweet. Thank you for showing people that squirrels have personalities and deserve our compassion.

i love Roo and your relatioinship with him is a gift from God ! I think he can feel your body is alive thats why he loves your hoodie he loves you like his mommy

The best video I’ve seen in quite a while. Thank you for sharing. So cute.

Thank you for taking me back in time to the pine forest of Formby in Lancashire .I have lived alongside red Squirrels virtually all my life, even when we moved to Brabant in the Netherlands They lived in the forest at the bottom of our garden. and of course in our garden Its heartbreaking to know that the introduction of the alien American grey has lead to almost wiping them out in the UK..Roo is a delight to watch,a reminder of these joyous creatures We have non where we live now.Your lucky to have them . I miss them

God bless you and please God bless anyone that cares for animals in general, 2 beautiful souls enjoying each others company.

It’s great to see the maternal instinct of mother craft at work.

This is soo adorable. 🥰 Both, the squirrel and your care.

I *KNEW* this little guy would just be so cuddly. 😊I did not expect him to be ticklish!!! 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿

Ma'am, you're a best mom You can be proud of yourself

Dani. You are a wonderful person. Just let the baby squirrel decide for itself. Dont feel bad Thank you for the movies ❤❤❤

My mind kept wandering to the phrase, "A Squirrel in the Hood"...it's the New Yorker in me, haha. I think we'll all have to come together to get you a new hoodie...and new leggings 😅. It's amazing to watch him learning "how to squirrel" and I literally laughed out loud at his rubbish review of your natural drey habitat in a box. Silly squirrel, haha!

Little Roo, like all babies, be it animals or humans, needs the contact with his mummy. Nothing can substitute her warmth, her smell, her coziyness and LOVE..Danny, you are his mummy now.. Thank you, dear Danny, for posting this amazing, senstive video. I enjoy all your videos, by the way... GOD bless you, little Roo and the whole divine creation.

Cute 🥰 you have a beautiful soul to care for such a helpless little guy

😂❤❤❤ awwwww your connection is so awesome!!! God Bless You for Your patience 🙏💛

Thanks for rescuing this baby squirrel. ❤

This is the best of what humans can do. Showing love, kindness and gentleness to something so small and fragile. I just wish there was more of this in the world, not just to animals but to people also.

This little thing is so cute. You're doing a great job. You've got a Friend for a long time.

This might be the cutest, most wholesome thing I've ever seen. Like I'm dying over here 😍🥲☠

Love the camera work. Really, really good!

Hello, i found this movie accidentally. I am very grateful for your rescue of this little animal. i've also seen next episode. I could onle write this: you are wonderful person with big heart. Greetings from Poland. every time i start to watch these episodes I start to cry and i can't stop. This is so touching. thank you once again. waiting for episode #3

I think in the wild, he'd have the body heat of siblings and possibly mother at least at night and when feeding, so he's imprinted on your smell and wants the security of your body heat and pouch, which is a round, womb like burrough. If you did a soft release, I'm sure he was off sooner or later, but will look in now and then and return with his/her young. This is beautiful footage and story telling! ❤❤❤

This video should break the Internet as the cutest thing ever seen. Congrats on being a wonderful carer for that tiny bundle of fluff. Keep up the great work.

You're such a refreshing individual ❤️

This is the cutest video on KZread, you're fantastic!

This has truly warned my heart. Thank you for being an awesome human being. We need more kind people like you in this world.

you have to be a real life disney princess, you doing a great job raising orphan animals, thank you for doing so 🤗

Watching you interact with Roo is a heartwarming experience. Your compassion and calm nature are inspiring and it makes me want to cuddle my kitty lol. Thank you for sharing your journey with Roo so far, and i look forward to watching more.

Hello Dani, thank you very much for allowing us to be part of this adventure. If I understand correctly, you'll learn at least as much as Roo 🙃😉😍 It is interesting to see how much of the animals' behavior is learned and how much is instinct. Warm greetings from Germany

My grandmother rescued a baby squirrel that fell out of nest over 40 years ago. His name was Papeto. She raised and released him, but he wouldn't stay outside. He always came back. She had him for almost 18 years.

I get that he is wild but he also deserves a childhood phase too, so it's great you've been there to play and offer a secure environment. Also are you sure he's a he?

Yes exactly. That’s a theme in an upcoming episode. I thought I needed to distance myself from him to help wild him, but it ended up driving him crazy because he was a lonely orphan with no one to play with. Yes he’s a boy!

​@@DaniConnorWildIt's so good of you to take the time to raise him. No, you won't get things 100% right, but no one ever does.....You have whats best for him in mind and thats 80% of the battle..!! Please if possible video his first interactions with the other squirrels, I'm most curious about that!!! Good job mom!!

You and your videos are awesome! To me you gave him a perfect name as it matches exactly his color in french ("roux" which is not red neither really orange or brown) and is pronunced Roo in the same way. Thank you for your sweet heart, greetings from Switzerland.

I have always loved squirrels, i just think they're the cutest. This little baby is so precious and I'm so glad you found them 🥺💕

This is so wholesome and therapeutic. Loved the name! 🥰

this is the most adorable footage I have seen in a long time, very well done!!!! Love Roland

They are ticklish on their tummies 😊 I watch our wild ones play with each other and alone with a twig. They are funny & smart. I've made friends with 6 grey squirrels. When I click my tongue 3xs they know that it's Snack time! And they will come running 😊 🐿️🐿️🥰🥰

Roo is so cute!!! And Dani is doing a great job raising him! And that nest was a really good idea but what Dani forgot about was Roo wanted and needed moms scent and energy feel so her hoodie was perfect. (and on a side note Dani is very pretty too, lucky boyfriend).

What a hoot! Hilarious antics, Roo is quite the adventurous little squirrel. You are so patient with him. Adorable video, thanks Dani!

I enjoy how he does your hair. I bet you already ca feel this, when he goes to the wild you will miss him a lot and I bet he comes back to visit from time to time. Thank you for caring for him.

Your disclamer are very important. Good to see. This little fellow's readjustment to wild life are of course the main goal, and I'm sure you'll succeed in this endeavour.

Hi Dani, Robin here from Delft, The Netherlands. I am happy because I just found out that the Calendar, which was sold out, is available again by pre-order. So I ordered one! Happy XMas and all other days, and I which you the best and great joy at your adventures. I am 61 yo and have parkinson. Your' vlogs give me an inner calm and I really enjoy them.

Dani your are LEGEND! Thanks for your kindness and love to animals.

Videos like this makes me happy! It’s so adorable how you bond together. Thanks for your adorable videos in such a time, where you think everything is bad! 🙏🏽❤️

He may enjoy feeling your breath when he sleeps in your hoodie. Great video.

Awww. We hand raised the runt of a rabbit litter when I was little. He grew up to basically act like a dog. Followed us around, came when we called his name, even outside etc. He didn't live too long but he knew he had a family 😊

What a wonderful series, little Roo has already found his feet. It's also so great that you are returning him to the wild, not an easy task by any means but that is where he is meant to be and will be at his happiest. Fantastic job you are doing Dani, will be watching the series with great interest and can not wait for the next video. 👏👏👏💯

oh my gosh. cuteness overload again! AND it's a red one

I like you both, you doing well. Greetings from Germany ❤

This is simply great. Better than anything you'd find on TV. Lovely story and looking forward to the next episode!

Long time watcher, first-time commenter (I think?). This relationship is so unbelievably cute, I couldn’t stop smiling and giggling during all the playing. Bless you, this is so heartwarming ❤️😌

You are his mommy and his tree. Of course, he wants to sleep in your hoodie! Your house is Baby Pear's Orphan Squirrel Safehouse :) poor little guy got scared out of his baby wits, he needs all your patience, but it sure looks like you are perfectly situated for soft release as he gets older and wants his OWN tree :)

I really love him he's really loving and absolutely beautiful I wish I could have one in my life because they're so loving to people ❤️❤️❤️
