:Welcome Okay, so is this a baby squirrel? Until photo, can you tell us more about him, like does he have fur?
Are eyes open? Any visible injuries? Did you check around for any others? Usually there are more than one to a liter. Was there
a cat involved? :tilt Sorry so many questions, it will just help us help you faster.

How much does he weigh? How often do you feed? Are you feeding by the 5-7% of body weight rule? Are you using proper feeding technique? It's really important in order to avoid aspiration. You should routinely listen to him breathe and make sure you don't hear clicking. Here's a thread about it with a video:

And here's a round age guide:

Welcome to TSB. I don't know if you can do photos from an iphone.

I watched the video.. I have been feeding him only milk.. He is 6-7 weeks judging off that scale... Should I order some blocks for him and if so what ones? And what should I be starting for food? I tryed some lettuce but he did not want any? Thank you so much... I do love this little guy

Here is the diet for adult sqs:

He should be on formula for as long as he'll take it, but right around this age he should be introduced to blocks. Only when he's eating them consistently should veggies be introduced, then fruit and nuts as treats. For the first while, he'll gnaw the blocks to pieces more than eat them, so you could save some money if you like buy buying a cheaper block like Kaytee Forti-Diet, then move to HHBs.

If hte FV doesn't arrive tomorrow, I would go buy a can of Esbilac puppy formula powder. Kat formula isn;t very good for these guys.

oh, how sad. Rest in peace little squirrel mama. :grouphug

Where there any other babies?
Please try to find out if the finders looked around good
Babies that young need help.

For tonight, if there are no injuries,
just let him rest in quiet, dark and warm place
(no TV, pets, loud noises) he will most likely
rest until early morning. It's hard, but try to let him just settle down.
Offer some soft bedding, like t-shirts and maybe a small nest box like a shoebox
inside a larger plastic hamper or storage container.
Did he just open his eyes?
