Can you tell us his background?
How long you've had him, his diet and
how long he's been like this.

If possible can you post a video of him? --Thanks.
Ya he's about seven weeks old and he eats oranges nuts fruit and is still on formula for the most part we found him laying on the concrete cooking in the sun and could have only been a few days old he had scratches on his chest and the mom was no where in sight so to explain how he walks its like this he try so hard to walk but throws himself to the side he can barely climb but he seems fine I just don't understand why he can't walk I don't feel any breaks in his back or legs.

What formula is he drinking? --we recommend Esbilac with Probiotics (powder) @ 5-7% of the squirrels body weight every four hours.
Please stop the fruits and nuts at this point and order some HHB (squirrel blocks) from Henrys Healthy Pets. Feed one block a day.
Once your squirrel has accepted the block, then you can add in healthy vegetables with limited fruits and a few nuts as a treat only.
What exactly can I buy at a local store for him to eat??

He needs to be on Esbilac with Probiotics.... you can purchase the powder mix at your local pet store, start them out on a mixture of 1:3 then move to a mixture of 1:2 ...... fed every five hours.
You can also purchase a squirrel block called HHB online from Henrys Healthy Pets........ feed 1 block a day.
