Growing Up On Her Own
“Due to an abnormal birthing season and the passing of her sister, little Thumb grew up all by herself and did not learn to interact with other squirrels. By the time the normal birthing season had arrived, Thumbelina was already past the point of bonding with her kind,” the couple explained in the blog.
They Granted Her A Shot At Life

The Reyes couple could either have her euthanized or find a new home for her. They ended up taking her in themselves!
