HELP! I am brand new here- just found a baby squirrel hours ago and need info. My cat had him but he is not injured at all. I have raised puppies and reptiles and some other small creatures from birth- but do not have experience with squirrels- I left emails and messages for local rehabers on list- haven't heard from anyone yet. I have kitten milk here from trying to raise abandoned hedgehogs- Considering that ended up in a tearful heartbreak I want to make sure this little fellow gets properly cared for. Would kitten replacement milk be suitable?
I don't know where Mommy Squirres would be...we have lots of trees in my yard- and ow it's late and cold- so I would appreciate any help you might offer-
I have him comfy and safe. with a heat pad on one side of his box. Untill I hear from a rehabber I need to know what else to do. Feed him? - I know how to stimulate hedgehogs to urinate etc.- sounds the same- Should I feed him and stimulate him to potty through the night ? He has closed eyes and very little fur- Justthe start of a furry tail. I think it is a red squirrel? don't know the differences - I will check back soon for help- thanks, Raquel
