Found baby squirrel in Dallas, TX

[steffyg73]

I found a baby squirrel on Sun. morning. Looks to be about 10 days old. I have been doing all the things that were recommended. I have left messages and even received a phone call from someone from DFW wild. I haven't heard anything back from her and am getting anxious to find help for this little guy. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get some help for him?

Awwwwwwwwwwww! He is beautiful! Looks like he is less than 1 week old in that picture. You are doing an amazing job to have kept him alive for so long! Pinkies are very fragile and often times do not make it for one reason or another. Here is a link to rehabbers in Texas, hopefully you can find someone nearby on the list:

Just type in TX in the state bar and hit enter and they will come up. There are three pages of Texas rehabbers.

Thank you all for your help! I made a call to Mr. Jim Dunlap at Holifield Science Learning Center in Plano, TX and they are going to take him!
Mr. Dunlap is the curator of the facility and I am so pleased that he is going to take this little guy in!!!
I have fallen in love w/ him but don't feel like I am able to give him the proper care he needs at this young age.
Hopefully they will be able to give me updates..

Thank you all again!
