If you look into the flying squirrel cage during daylight hours, it's seemingly empty, a little squirrely ghost town. But not at night! #southernflyingsquirrel#flyingsquirrel #ohiowildlife | WEST Wildlife Rehab

The flying squirrel colony. 5 flyers are now in here. They will go into the outside pre-release cage this week. Fun fact: Though they do not hibernate, flying squirrels nest together in groups during winter. They can reduce their metabolic rate and body temperature to conserve energy, and they benefit from one another's radiant heat. Social reasons also encourage the behavior among related flying squirrels | Little Bit Wildlife Rescue
