A plump Welsh squirrel paid the price for its overeating. Feiky.net advises avoiding overeating in confined settings.

The furry gourmet maintained a garden area near one of the houses for meals. For the wintering birds, the owner prepared many metal rod feeders for the cold weather. There were containers inside containing seeds and nuts for the birds, which the squirrel sought. She couldn’t move out of the next “dining room” because of her much-expanded waist after robbing a few feeders.

Fortunately, the house’s owner observed the forlorn prisoner pining for release. The squirrel, he claimed, agonized in quiet, grasping the bars with its claws and putting its muzzle out. The man was unable to rescue the fluffy robber on his own and had to rely on the rescuers. It just took a few minutes to free the hairy gourmand for an expert with the correct instrument. The squirrel sat patiently and did not interfere with the treatment; nevertheless, when the veterinarian attempted to inspect the animal for wounds, she swiftly avoided and rushed away from humans headfirst.

Looking at her agility, the rescuers concluded that she would not have been so quick if she had been harmed. They surmised philosophically that the incident had simply harmed her pride.
