happy to be a part of a squirrels life

[sonshine24]

hello there :)) my town had a tornado about 2 weeks ago and i found my little guy after. i named him Twister because i felt it was fitting. he seemed to be between 3 and 4 weeks old. i put him on puppy milk and pedialite and he is doing great. hes recently found that grapes are really delicious! happy to have found this forum :))

:Welcome sonshine, and thanks for rescuing the little one! We're glad you found us.
PLEASE be careful with grapes -- baby squirrels choke on them, a LOT. Split them and remove that little tough thing in the middle before giving them to your baby, ok? If you want to be extra-careful you can peel them completely first.
Remember, Pedialyte can only be given for 24 hours -- then stop.

Hope you're using the Fox Valley Day One formula for Squirrels? It is truly the very best around.

yea i always peel the grape first for him and hold it while he eats it to be sure everythings alright. right now he just likes to suck on it. hes active and happy and loves to nestle into the back of your neck haha
