How to unlock the SNEAK achievement in ANIMAL WELL - Definitive Guide
Start a new game and continue through the tutorial until you reach the area with the four flame animal statues. Save at the telephone here, in case something goes wrong you can just reload your save.
From there, head right and up the ladder into the garden area, and continue right. You'll pass by the squirrel we'll be sneaking up on on a ledge above you, but he's guarded by a door.
To get the key to the door we continue right, past the hedgehogs into a room with a chest. Use the chinchilla to get to the chest, collect the key and head left back for the door.
After unlocking the door, instead of using the d-pad, hold left gently on your thumbstick to move slowly and sneak up on the squirrel. Once you're close enough, you'll get a prompt to "Take", press B to grab a nut and the achievement is yours.

*MISSABLE*
Right from the start of the game, you'll start noticing decently large squirrels. They run away when you get close, and don't serve any real purpose that I'm aware of. What this achievement requires you to do is sneak up behind one and get close enough to steal its nut. This is highly missable because there are only a set number of squirrels in the game (probably six or seven), and most are impossible to sneak up on, to my knowledge.
Thankfully, there is one squirrel seemingly set up specifically for this achievement, and it can be done less than 10 minutes into a new game, especially if you know where you're going. After starting the game, you'll progress out of the starting area, grab the map in a chest, and take a ladder up into the main hub room with all four big animal statues. Head right one screen, up the ladder, then continue right. As you progress right from room to room, you'll see a squirrel above you in one room, looking down from above. Don't worry - you can't scare it aware from down below. Progress past it all the way to the rightmost room where you can collect a key from a chest. Head back to the left, platform up the yellow platformed stairs, and unlock the door, which is behind the squirrel.
IMPORTANT: Once you have access to the squirrel, you need to sneak very slowly to not startle it. Title the left thumbstick to the left just barely enough for you to start moving, and hold it there until you're close enough to the squirrel that you get a prompt to press to "take." Do so to take the squirrel's nut and unlock this achievement (and get a bunch of bonus health (temporarily).
Here's a clip of me showing its location. The room I start in is where the key was.

As a side note, I found one other squirrel that I was able to sneak up on. It's in the upper left quadrant (the dog area). Here's a clip of me showing its location.

Video guide (en). It's only about 3 minutes and you don't need to study the glitch for bubbles.

It's convenient to do it on the squirrel, which is sitting in the turquoise section upstairs in the room where you first see the hedgehog. Having opened the door on the next screen with the key, step by step, very smoothly moving the stick to the left, we get close to the squirrel and press we take the nut. Adds two temporary lives (hearts).
