Lexington TN --HELP Baby Grey Squirrels

Dan Nichols
Peanut's parent (Recovering Peanut is doing well)

This morning a large hawk visited our yard-this evening my wife found a dead baby squirrel and a living one. I just found another baby grey and can hear another up in the tree. While we raised a baby red and still have Peanut in our family of pets we do not have the ability to raise a family of greys. Is there someone in the Lexington TN area who can take on the raising of these babies-two for sure and possibly more. Our health problems make it impossible for us to raise these babies.

My wife is trying to bottle feed but we can't keep this up for long. The babies look close to weaning age.

I have updated your thread title to include the location. Closest I can find is Nashville. Hope some members that withhold there location are closer and can help!

Thank you. Nashville is a couple hours away.

Are you able to drive a distance of we find someone to help?

I do not know what to tell you. My wife is ill and still asleep. Internet service here is ify due to the weather. The baby squirrels are still alive-not sure if Kimmi got them to eat last night. Internet may go down for us at any time. Texting??? Kim's cell phone number is 731-307-9955.
We're supposed to be in Henderson,TN later today (Mother-in-law's home). We might be able to drive a short distance. But with Kimmi being ill we may have to stay home. I'm going to let Kimmi sleep as long as possible, but probably she will be awake around 9.

Our home is 1 mile from Scotts Hill, TN.

How far are you from Harrogate, TN?

[nchls_school]

The internet says 5 hours 23 minutes. Too far for us to even think of driving.

I'm sorry she isn't feeling well. Can you get these babies hydrated while you wait for her to wake up? Have you put food and water (a bit of fruit or blocks if you have them) in with the babies?

We have done as you suggest. Thank you.

Kimmi is awake and talking on the phone with a group member.

The babies have been fed and seem to be doing OK. My wife tells me she found a wildlife rehab center near us in Scotts Hill. We'll take the babies there. Thanks to everyone who posted or called.
