I promised yall that I'll upload the pics if possible... but keeping a baby squirrel in your hands requires both hands. They haven't even opened their eyes yet, but these little tykes are as active as hell... and as for the title, my grandfather, who found these droplets of love mother-less and starving calls them just that: daruwo! (it's a very written-language-ish Sinhala word usually used to mean human children) Would've loved to post pics of how they're fed milk through a pipette, but that would require yours truly to have another arm maybe... hehe ;)
it's hard to photograph these little angels:
Anyways, elections are tomorrow... Wish I had the chance to vote, I would've definitely used it... So those who are eligible SHOULD go out and do it... I have seen in these American TV series' how it's kinda taboo in the US to not vote but later complain about the politicians who were elected. Since Sri Lankans love to complain about politicians (it's definitely a national pastime one can say!), we should all atleast go out and vote! noh? ;)
Hey, post photos of them when they are all grown up too.
ReplyDeleteFeeding milk with a pipette? LOL!
will try to keep regular updates on their progress... I wonder where I can find information about how they grow and stuff... :) and the pipette part is the best! they (there are 2 of them, I only managed to photograph just one!) cling onto it and drink like babies with milk bottles! :D
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! I had two as well...they'll soon run away but they are adorable noh?! Oh and give 'em names. They recognize it usually. =)
ReplyDeleteAwwwwwww. The squirrel is so pretty. Am looking for his head? Where is it?
ReplyDeleteYes! Elections and guess what my dad had been upto. He'd voted for four instead of three and asked for an eraser. o.O
@Sabz: Yea they are very very adorable! :) mom told me the same thing, they don't tend to stick around when they get old enough... and will do! Maybe i'll hold a twitter poll on what names to put? ;) hehe
ReplyDelete@GG: In the bottom of the 1st pic... he (or she) hadn't opened his eyes yesterday... one opened his eyes this morning! :D
and lol@ the eraser... well good thing they give you a pencil! :D
Anaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :D
ReplyDeleteVote?Aargh. i hate tht inky stuff they put on ur pinkie!! Who in tarnations created tht stuf!
Awww cwute. Squirrels are like the next best thing to a finger-monkey. ;D
ReplyDelete@Charm: you can wash it off using brake oil according to Shan Wickramasinghe... hehe ;D
ReplyDeleteGood to hear you voted! :D
@Maks: Fingermonkeys they are maaaan!! they're master-tickle-monsters too! :D
No matter how small, they have their identity clearly inked on the back. Right little 'Thun iri appus'!
ReplyDeleteHope to see them grow :)
That they are... and their little tails are growing and becoming furry! :D
ReplyDeleteI will keep on updating, and taking pictures of them would be easier once they're old enough to drink milk on their own... ;)
