Shortly before drying out, a man finds this creature and it’s almost a miracle what becomes of it

This story of a little flying squirrel has spread all over the world: Jeff Longo was on his way home after work and noticed something lying on the sidewalk. It seemed to be moving, despite having been out in the merciless Florida sun for hours. Jeff had no clue what kind of an animal it was, so he asked in an online forum. There he was told that the animal was a southern flying squirrel. But no one on the forum believed it would survive. “It’ll definitely die soon and in your hands,” was the prevailing diagnosis. But Jeff saw the situation completely differently…
Jeff found the creature in this pitiful state. Despite having just been born, it seemed like his life was already over.

One could see immediately that the creature was suffering from undernourishment and dehydration. So Jeff decided to begin giving him a nutrient intake. Even though the people online told him it would all be in vain…

He refused to give up on this innocent creature. Already after the first drops of water, the animal began to show signs of life again.

At least Jeff now knew that it was indeed a newborn southern flying squirrel. Up until that point, he hadn’t known much more.

Even online there was no help to be found. Just pessimism and bullying from whoever he turned to.

Jeff did everything he could. With a mini bottle, he fed little squirrel life-sustaining sustenance.

But his loving care began to show a visual success. The fragile creature’s condition stabilized itself more and more each day.

In the meantime, Jeff had named his new, little roommate: Biscuits! Because he loved to chow down on cookie crumbs from the kitchen table.

And Biscuits became stronger and stronger.

He even got a new friend: Jeff’s dog lovingly welcomed Biscuits into their home!

Both got along marvelously from the first moment on.

Mmm, breakfast! That’s Biscuits’ favorite meal of all.

Full!

Biscuits even started taking on some new hobbies. Like skateboarding!

…hide-and-go-seek,…

…and modeling with silly hats!

Biscuits loves snuggling up in Jeff’s beard more than anything else.

 

They’ll probably have to separate at some point. Bu until then, the two are enjoying their time together.

Biscuits is now 3 months old. And he is a proper strong, and lively little guy.

Awesome job, Jeff! And we want to wish you much more fun together. You guys are an unbeatable team.

Sometimes it’s worth listening to your heart instead of letting the pessimists get to you. Thanks to Jeff, Biscuits now has a second chance.
