O damn! I see a lot of fat and good eating! Maybe I would take one, maybe not.
They do look like someone's pets.

I had an odd animal moment this month. I walked into my living room and there was a little Sugar Glider walking around like it was drunk.
What is a Sugar Glider?
They are little rodent/squirrel type creatures that glide from tree to tree.
I have those, outside.![]()
They remind me of a cross between a bat and a dwarf squirrel. Lol
I used one of my cameras, can't remember which one....? The Fuji I think? I have an internet shop that I need to take pictures of product I make and then sell, so my cameras are always around in that part of the house, which gets the most natural light this time of year and I put it on the ''behind glass'' setting since it was through my kitchen sink window, and just zoomed in....and also, when uploading the pictures, the program I use allows me to edit and or, zoom in more.How do you get pictures like that?!(not the closet) and acted as if they owned the place...with no worries at all...
They love me!I think they love me!!! (in my best Sally Fields voice!)
I was in the kitchen heating up a cup of coffee in the microwave cuz it had gotten cold....peaked out of the kitchen sink window and there, right in front of me at the edge of the woods where we placed a bird feeder and some chairs under a wild plum tree to watch the birds from, these two, pretty stocky deer come right to the bird feeder and started licking up the sunflower seeds that had fallen to the ground....
It was minus 11 this morning, so I know they are just happy to have made it through the night alive! Here in Maine, we lose a quarter, to a third of our deer herd in normal winters....but they reproduce like bunny rabbits and deliver in the Spring so all is ok with that, I suppose....

I have 5 more pictures to post of them....they are not skinny yet....they will be, by Spring....
We had a little ''stare down'' thing going for a couple of minutes, but they finally figured out that I was a wussy, who's never held a gun!And decided to stay!
I have deer standing 10 feet from me and all I have is my phone. The pictures make them look 100 yards away. What are you using?
How often do you eat rats?(not the closet) and acted as if they owned the place...with no worries at all...

The only difference between deer and rats is they taste better.
They do not eat my hostas or any of my landscaping....and hostas are dead/dormant over the winters here...so they are not there to eat in the winter, when they are hungry...Deer eat my hostas, roses, shrubs, and day lilies. They are insatiable.
Around here, they do hunt and eat Muskrats... I know they are in the rodent family, but I am not certain it is a rat per say, though to me, they look just like a rat....they eat them and are suppose to be really tasty... I kid you not! Many prefer Muskrat over Rabbit in a stew from what I hear.How often do you eat rats?(not the closet) and acted as if they owned the place...with no worries at all...

What is Acuba??? Sounds like a Tropical Island in the middle of Utopia....I have deer every day. They striped my acuba of all their foilage in about a minute
They eat hostas here big time. They eat them right to the ground. They are particular though. They like the green and white hostas. Roses they love too. Eat all the leaves of a rose bush, in one sitting.They do not eat my hostas or any of my landscaping....and hostas are dead/dormant over the winters here...so they are not there to eat in the winter, when they are hungry...Deer eat my hostas, roses, shrubs, and day lilies. They are insatiable.
but in spring summer or fall , the edges of all the woods have wild fruit trees, primarily apple, cherry, and plum, the rest of the inner woods around where I live is primarily pine trees of all sorts and Birch and Maple closer to the edge,
plus the deer also have wild Raspberries, wild blue berries, and wild black berries and wild rose bush hips to eat that grows at the edges of the woods and along dirt roads here....where ever sun light can get through the woods
winter? maybe they eat bark, cuz there is nothing else is around? Maybe pine nuts that are left on the ground if they can dig them out....?
I honestly do not know how they survive??
You sound like me, but I have a mouse that I'm helping thru the cold winter. He can stay til spring. My back yard is a zoo.~ I feed 2 feral cats ( one just died after 17 years of feeding him ). caught and got them both neutered. I also feed a racoon, and a sweet possum, the hummingbirds, and other birds All and everyone is invited. except any mice or rats in my house. ( we are screened up pretty tight ,so no mice in the house )
