    Oh my goodness, I loved watching that @jenz !
    I suspect the vocalizations are partly motivated by excitement but also motivated by an expression of “MINE.” One of my agoutis used to make similar sounds when she possessed a prize bit of food and a potential competitor for that goodie was nearby. She didn’t make that sound with the same food if a person wasn’t close.

      @virginiad

      Glad you enjoyed it!

      I have watched it about 30 times- I keep smiling watching her tumble over with it! She sounds like a video game or pinball machine! I think the rehabber mentioned she is food possessive and keeps her distance when she has food. She is a resource guarder! ????????

        Aha! She is a guarder!

          A little B-Mod should help, right?

            @jenz thank you for sharing! That is the most adorable video I’ve seen lately. What a cutie!

            You could TOTALLY train squirrels. Once you know the motivator, right? I think, in this case, it’s self-evident…

    Is there anything cuter than a critter who holds food in their paws while nibbling? I think not. This is adorable. Thanks for sharing. And, @jenz any rehab organization would be lucky to have you!

      The sounds, too! Even though she may be guarding…. ????
