Squirrel Rescued After Hurricane Becomes Family’s Cutest Member

Jill, a lovely squirrel in Louisiana that was rescued after she fell from her nest during a hurricane, has become an Instagram celebrity thanks to her adorable antics.

Her owner writes that, though Jill has a cage, she is usually given free run of the house. She is also trained to use a garbage can as her bathroom. Check out her Instagram for way more pics!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

Photographs are adorable and the story is inspiring. However I am finding it difficult to believe that she likes to stay at home, instead of living in her natural habitat, as long as she is healthy...

Might be too domesticated to live on it's own

They are basically rats with a large fluffy tail... they can live where ever

She wouldn't survive out there now, any more than a pet hamster or mouse would.

They actually make great pets, although are illegal to keep as such. I have 2 that I've raised from 1 day old and the female is very independent and comes and goes as she pleases and loves on us when she's around, but the male we have is very insecure and he stays close to us and in the house mostly. He does have access to go outside at anytime, he just prefers our bedroom and his "cage"

You can tell by the photos of her looking outside.

Makes me miss the 3 I rescued a few weeks ago, decided they'd be happier in their natural habitat.
