I found a samll squirrel, well he found me he walked right up to me and when I offered my hand he hopped on.

I just joined the iste to learn more and get him some hlep
He looks well over all but must of had a fight with a cat or something, has one eye that is damaged, and some sopt on him that look like they where dried blood , but they are not open sores now. He is eatting some lettice ans chewed a carrot. He has slept on my chest while I reasearch this and has also walked from one hand to the other across my shoulders and down my arms.

Should I give him to a rehaber or could he be a pet? Not sure he will do well in the wild with one eye.

In the meantime you can scroll to the bottom of the page to Forum Jump and click on it. Then go to Baby Squirrel ABC's, there is alot of good information there. You should also be able to determine his age from the pictures there.

He may need to be put on some antibiotics if he has a cat bite. What kind of damage has been done to his eye?
