I have two baby squirrels that live in my Palm tree. Sunday morning their mommy got hit by a car and didn't make it. I've seen the babies running around in the morning since Sunday. I would love to help them if possible but not sure what to do with wild ones.

any chance you can get pictures so we can help determine age, which will help decide if you need to help them. Did you notice if the mothers nipples were still being used?

I'm not a rehabber, but just wanted to make sure you saw this, http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?51708-4skwerlz-Baby-Squirrel-Care That link covers many things they will need in short order. Warmth and hydration, being the top 2. If you can indicate your general area in Florida, someone on here might be able to direct you to a quality wildlife rehabilitation center if you would like that.
