Hi all-
I just stumbled upon this board while looking for more information on baby squirrels.. Recently my fiance found two babies that were foolishly removed from mom because of nesting in an attick. He tried for a couple days to leave them out for mom to find but she never came back. Luckily he knows being the animal lover i am that of course i would be up for the challenge in helping these babies get the proper care they needed or to the proper facility that could help them. Working/schooling in the animal industry for years i had raised plenty of babies before but NEVER squirrels! Your board has already given me so much information and its just great to be able to connect with a bunch of squirrel lovers!
My passion started when i attended Penn State university and the plethora of squirrels that happily live on campus intreigued me. They were never bothered by the abundance of students walking through campus and eventually it became a sunday ritual to spend an afternoon feeding the squirrels and watching them play.
My babies seem to be about 7 weeks old and really starting to become nuts! Runt Baby is significantly smaller and also needed a lot more attention/feeding when we first took them in (about 1 week ago) He is affectionate and loving. Monkey.. well hes a crazy boy! Climbs all over like a Monkey so thats how he got his name!
Im so excited to read through all the information provided on the board and cant wait to continue this adventure while i have the time with them!
Will try to post pictures soon but i dont know if i have access yet! Thank you all for the information posted here i know it will be a big help!
