Brucey the Baby Squirrel's Peek-a-Boo Will Brighten Your Day

Brucey is an adorable baby squirrel raised by humans, and she loves her human parents, whom she allows to pet and scratch her. Brucey was found in a parking lot when she was likely less than one day old.

The kind humans who found her placed her at the bottom of the tree and waited to see if her momma would come to get her. The momma never showed her bushy tail, and the humans took her and decided to raise her. This little girl took to her caretakers and learned to trust them. She is as precious as they come.

This baby loves to climb and play, as this video shows the first time she plays peek-a-boo with her family. Brucey seems to enjoy being touched gently, and she likes attention. Baby squirrels are fun to watch; they are curious, and Brucey is no exception. Brucey also wants to be petted and held.

Brucey is a nibbler, but it is all fun and games. Every time her human puts her fingers close, she lightly nibbles, which is so sweet. She purrs like a kitten when she is happy. During peek-a-boo, she hides behind the chair and comes back up to greet her mom when she lightly bops her nose.
