Yesterday my husband found a baby squirrel that it appeared both it's back legs were broken. We called a rehabber and got no response. Sadly the little guy did not survive the night. This afternoon there was another baby, I'm assuming a sibling, and it appears one of his back legs is also broken. No rehabbers will call me back because it's after 5. I need help.

Start with this 6 page primer on baby squirrel care:
https://www.henryspets.com/1-baby-squirrel-care-guide/
Then if you have questions, please post them. I am not certain of anyone from TSB that is in KC but hopefully others do...

Kansas City Missouri. Right on the border though. I don't have any questions but I am unable to go get formula/milk this evening. I do have greek yogurt? He does have teeth but he is extremely thin.

Could you post a photo or text one to 203.214.7427? I am seeking help from a group of rehabbers I admin on fb.

The Greek yogurt should be okay in the interim.
