Sadly I came across 3 very very wet squirrels the day before yesterday. After numerous attempts to locate, I do not think the mother made it through the storm. I haven't seen any squirrel in the tree they came from let alone the potential mother.
Anyhow. They seem to be about 5-7? weeks old. After two days of being bundled together to keep warm, they are coming around wonderfully! Their eyes are open fully. They can move around okay.
I did not have power nor internet access until late last night. But for now I have made a homemade pedialyte of sorts, (from another squirrel page) to start getting them hydrated. It's a small amount of salt, sugar and purified drinking water. ((Not distilled))
Anyhow I am on the way to the store to get a dropper to help the two drink who don't seem too keen on drinking from a small bowl of sorts. Now here comes the most important parts.
What do I get for them for food? A friend gave the good idea of ground meal worms as Squirrels eat bugs and would be an excellent source of protein. ANd some sort of milk that would be close to a squirrels?
Thanks.
