Oh wow thank you so much for writing all of that! What an amazing story!! I think I would have done the same thing as your mum and been worrying about the little babies so I am so glad they survived!

Haha no I can't imagine that was the best experience having a squirrel in your trousers! Whenever we held ours we had to wear really thick clothes as his claws were just so sharp! Instead of write the whole story here here is a link incase you are interested, I did 3 parts!

Its nice that there were 3 of them, for us it was only one so we didn't know the chances of survival for him. Amazing thing to do though!
