Found baby squirrel

[beckeyabac]

Hey everyone!

A couple friends and I found a baby squirrel in the truck bed yesterday. I have encountered babies before, but this is the first I have taken on for myself. We warmed her up, and started feeding her. She's eating well, and having bowel movements. Gave her a few drops of Gatorade to help hydrate her.
Have a few questions though:
She sleeps A LOT...is this normal? Either she's sleeping, or she's eating.

What's the best thing to feed them? Right now we have her on milk replacement, and she eats it well. But I've heard different things on feeding. Not sure how old she is. Maybe 7 weeks? She's not very big, but has little teeth.
She's as sweet as can be, and has attached to a beaver toy that we bought her [=


ANY INFORMATION WILL HELP! We want the best and most outstanding care for this baby, with hopes to set her free when the winter passes. THANK YOU!!!

We think she fell. There was a big tree next to the truck. No broken limbs or other injuries though.
We have her on a kitten formula? Feeding her about every 4 hours, not sure how much. Maybe 6cc? She was just awake, climbing in my hair, so I think she's feeling better. :thumbsup
She just looks like she doesn't feel well though, maybe because she just opened her eyes? Not sure how old she is exactly.

HI and :Welcome , If she just opened her eyes then she's around 5 weeks old. You need to get the Esbilac puppy formula, it's the one baby squirrels need to be on. You will need to transition her slowly over to the new formula so her tummy doesn't get upset. Do you have a digital scale so you can weight her, that's how we figure out how much to feed them. Do you have her on a heating pad? I keep mine on one for a couple of weeks after their eyes open, mostly since she's an only child. Try to get the Esbilac today. Good Luck.

I'll go get it right now. Should I post a picture?

Got some puppy formula, although the vet said kitten formula is better?

She is on a heating pad, and loves to curl up with her beaver. I don't have a way to get a weight on her ]=

sorry about the humongous pictures :rotfl not sure how to re-size

[beckeyabac]

Any idea on how old she is? She has little teeth, not sure how many. I think just one. And her eyes are pinkish? don't know if she's sick, or what? You can kind of tell in one of the pictures.
Thank you for resizing!!!!
