They seem to be thriving on corn and oats. The chickens don't seem to mind since they're nocturnal. I don't know where they're nesting though. I'd hate to get bit by something so cute while gathering eggs and die of something awful.

I had one of those on my face in the middle of the night. They are as soft as they look. Except for the claws.

Where are their wings? And did possums start flying at the same time as the pigs did?

Loose skin that stretches from their front to hind legs spreads out flat when they launch themselves into the air and gives them lift. They're gliding squirrels really. They glide from tree to tree but can't climb in altitude.

Flying squirrels? What's next? Rights for gays?

White Oak. HUGE.
fast like they teleport from one spot to another. they race around the one big branch, spiraling up the tree so fast they are literally a blur.

are they white because they're nocturnal? like cave dwelling animals that lose their pigment from spending their whole lives in darkness?
HUGE I tell you.
