This baby squirrel suffered injuries to her leg and was separated from her mother when she fell from a tree - and she is not even three weeks old. The grey squirrel, called Violet, endured the ordeal when the branch her nest (known as a drey) was laying on was cut down. Fortunately, the couple cutting down the tree spotted Violet and immediately phoned the Wildlife Aid Foundation for advice on what to do. The foundation, based in Leatherhead, Surrey, took her in, bandaged her leg, and have been feeding her a special milk formula, similar to that her mother would have provided.

To drink bottle water or tap water, that is the question. A Food Network blog does a great job informing us about the pros and cons of drinking out of plastic bottles or tap water. It is awesome they are shedding light on the differences between public water and water bottlers regulations. As describe in this article, corporate beverage bottlers are not required to ever publicly disclose or even test the water contents in their bottles. If they don’t even have to report what is in the water, why would they study and report what is in the plastic?
