We let my three “experiments” out in the wild after about a year. They darted right out of the cage and into some of the nearby oak trees like nothing happened.
They’re cute little buggers, but they’re not cuddly like you’d think.
That’s encouraging. Maybe ‘Wednesday’ did fine too.
She never bit me, but once she climbed me like I was a tree—w the speed of summer lightning. Ouch; those claws are sharp.
The little bastids (three of 'em) discovered my citrus trees last year and had been wreaking havoc on my crops. BB gun "aversion therapy" wasn't working so looking for options became the order of the day a couple of months ago.
I "ordered in" on the pellets, threw a few out three weeks ago, and have been totally free of the buggers since.
