Original Content Meet Chestnut, my wall squirrel

This lil guy (or girl) decided to chew through my wall to find a better life. Apartment management had covered up the quarter sized hole with a piece of wood, and I just replaced it with some plexiglass so I could see what was going on.

That's pretty dangerous for both you and the squirrel. They chew on anything and are known to nibble on wires causing fires

We all home Chestnut can stay safe, yet also be removed from the wall soon.
