:Welcome :)
Most species of squirrels open their eyes between the 4th and 6th weeks of life. Sometimes only one eye will open, and then hours later or even the next day the other will open.

We have a few other Palm Squirrels here...chickoo, for one. They are very beautiful!

The average squirrel opens its eyes between 4 to 6 weeks old --so I would say your little guy will properly open his eyes some time during this same time frame.

WELCOME to TSB ....... :wave123

I see you are in India - What are you presently feeding the little guy?

We would suggest the GM Recipe to get him started if you need help getting supplies?

1 cup Goats Milk (dilute if can)
1/3 cup Heavy Cream
1/3 cup Full Fat Vanilla Yogurt

Feed 5-7 % of Body Weight / every 3 hours
holds in frig for 72 hours

I am currently feeding him toned,pasteurised and scaled milk. Sometimes even water.:wave123

Can I talk you into changing over to the Goats Milk Recipe I gave you above? - its better for him and has far more nutrition in it than scaled milk does.
..... and we want to keep him thriving so he lives and grows into an adult Squirrel.

Please...... :Love_Icon

Hi there ,

Where do you live in India ? You have a female baby squirrel ? How did you find her ?
We surely like to see her photographs .

You might try private messaging her or sending to her email address. Looks like she's leaving.
