Ms Bargit said caring for the squirrels is a “really demanding task”.
“When they come in the vets will check them over for malnutrition and disease and injuries,” she explained.
“If it’s a baby, a kit, they’ll be weaned – so we’re trying to mimic the natural lifestyle.
“Once they’ve developed the right skills to crack nuts and build nests and climb trees then they go through that soft release which is a really beautiful process and it’s really rewarding to see them once they’re out there.”
To help supplement squirrels’ food supply ahead of winter, the charity advised people to leave out nuts and seeds in extra tall feeders in their gardens.
