I didn't think I'd be taking care of baby squirrels so soon, but the animal hospital actually gave my number to someone as an assistant rehabber because the women couldnt find anyone to take them! So, I'm working with an experience rehabber, but she isn't always available because she is extremely busy with a lot of animals. You are so helpful and compassionate and knowledgeable, I'm hoping with help I will raise these babies to be healthy, happy and wonderful treeclimbers!
There are 2 males and 1 female. I know a picture would help,(I hope to get my camera back from my son soon and figure out how to post the picture).
Don't overfeed runs through my head, as well as, dehydration. These little darlings have loose skin on their backs. Is this normal for this age? I just got them 5 hours ago. The lady had them for 10 days and has been feeding them 'Just Born' for puppies about every 2 hours about 2cc. She just started to spread feedings apart a little further. They are urinating, but their stool is too loose. Is it also normal if they are lying on their back to have a little struggle to turn over? They were cool to the touch when I got them, but they are warmed up now. I appreciate your input. Thank you.
