I have been asked to put the word out that a “respected person we all know and love” is in need of folks to take some baby squirrels. She says “they’re mostly a bit older with eyes open.” If anyone can help, please let me know and I will help work out the logistics of getting them.
Thanks

Central. Babies are located in Port Orange, but I am going up tomorrow to get some and would be happy to get extras for others and then help get them to them in other parts of the state.

If there’s a neuro / special needs NR baby.....

Thank you for the offer Snicker Bar. :hug. I picked them all up this afternoon. They all seem fine. They are all about the same age, 5-6 weeks, as all have their eyes open. Two clutches, one with three babies the other with five. Hrt has offered to take 4 that I will get to her next week and I will keep the other 4.
It’s been awhile since I’ve had any babies. I forgot how enchanting they are. Makes me not want to do anything but watch them. :Love_Icon:serene

All 8 babies are doing well. When they arrived weights ranged from 78gr to 97gr After 24 hrs weights are 81gr to 102gr. Pees and poops are good. :dance
It’s always a challenge for these guys to get the hang of the nipple. I have found that some of them really want to be wrapped in fleece while eating so they feel safe. Others couldn’t care less and just want the syringe in their mouth. :rotfl
Forgot to add, there’s 7 girls and one boy and they’re all snuggled up together. ❤️
