any rehabber in the Tampa Bay Area? I have 2 babies.

[Skalar]

I found 2 babies after a co-worker cut into the nest in a palm tree (always seems to be the palm trees that have the hidden nests)

he said he saw a some blood as he cut into it, and I found a male with a foot injury and another male without injuries.

two boys, one has his foot mangled, he's missing a toe, the other one is just fine. I searched and searched frantically for an hour, but I couldn't find a 3rd squirrel. I hope this was a nest of only two.. I really tried to find a 3rd one.


I'm sorry to say I can't handle these guys (I already have 3 squirrels already, and they're a handful!) I don't have ANY formula, I have nothing.. is there anybody that can take them in?

they look about 2 weeks old. They're really cute.

I just got to see this thread now. I'm not exactly in that area. Is everything ok? Do we have someone for them?

[Skalar]

They're fine.. Jackie took them and it looks like they'll be in great hands.

again, thank you for helping me.. or should I say, helping them. :)

[Jackie in Tampa]

Skalar...they are doing good!
Thank you
It appears he will be releasable...the color has returned to his foot..
Thank you for being fast...getting him on the ABs as quick as we did is going to be the difference ...his foot was BLACK the day after you brought them...he could have gone septic in a big hurry...
thank you from me and him and his brother!
They have been named...tootsie and dusty!:Love_Icon :Love_Icon

[iluvbabysquirrels]

OMG you ppl are saints!!! you were so sweet to take them in and you were soo sweet to get them in the right hands!!! I was to the point of tears when I saw the one that hurt his foot...:eek:

[stepnstone]

Skalar, thank you for taking them in and seeking help for them, you definetly came to the right place.
JIT, your a squirrel's saint for sure! :bowdown

[SquirrellyMom]

I just logged in for the first time in a while to look into taking in more. I missed this one but JIT you are amazing. I am going to pm you my number as I am down in the south hillsborough area if you need me.

UPDATE
Chain and Dusty are still inside...they are both doing well.
Chain did lose his outside toe on his rear leg, hasn't affected anything except his tail...
I have seen doughnut tails in sqs that have had an injury...I think it's nerve damage when their tails curl up like a pug's....
Christines tail did this, Peetunia's tail too!
and now Chain's...
They are two super fun, super friendly kids...
we are just going into winter and they will most likely stay until spring...
however the trees are still very green, so there is a possibility that they be released...we'll see!
Thank you for saving them!
:thumbsup
:Love_Icon Chain and Dusty:Love_Icon
btw...:poke how are your two sqs doing?
