Need a Babysitter

[kcassidy]

Hey,

I have to go to Arizona for a week, leaving 4/22, returning 4/29 on business trip.

I have two 3 - 4 week old squirrels and just got a call for another pinky, umbilical cord still attached (haven't seen it yet).

I need someone to watch my squirrels if possible? My friend can do the two older girls but a pinky takes way more work.

I'm in Orange County, NY and will drive Pinky to meet someone. I promise I'll take him/her back, but I can't ask my friend to do this and I can't abandon this baby.

If I could get it on the plane I'd take it with me, but i'm afraid the authorities would take it from me.

HELP. :)

I will watch, and I promise to give it back too. I can drive part way, we will arrange something, unless someone closer to you can help, but I would gladly help out.:)

YAY for us all :) Nancy even swears she will give them back, ha.

Anyhoo, just PM'd Nancy, baby arrived and it is NOT a squirrel, I'm guessing mouse and I don't know if it will make it. Person had it for 2 days, no heat, nothing it is freezing cold and dehydrated, although she said she was dripping milk into its mouth. Sigh.

Right now have it on a heating pad, will see if it makes it.

Thanks everyone.

Poor peanut. I saw on the board where someone actually fed a mouse I believe, with a tiny paint brush, they just sucked it off.
Did anyone see that video?
Prayers for this little peanut....:Love_Icon

I've seen that!

Oooo that is a good idea, I have an Opossum feeder but it is too big. I ended up putting a drop of electrolytes and it sucked it in while moving its mouth.

Here it it, I think its a boy.

I do believe I could sneak this guy on the airplane, would you guys try it?
