Well I have 2 more baby California ground squirrels as of 4 days ago. When I got them, one had just hatched fly larvae in its eyes. Got those out and have been feeding them to build up their weight as they were very cold and thin when I got them. They weigh 2 oz and 1.8 oz and are now eating their bottles well.
I have 1 ground squirrel male Pipi, who I have had for a couple years now. All my neighbors shoot, poison and kill squirrels in whatever way they can. So I did not release Pipi. I have a bit to figure it out, but what should I do with the 2 new ones? Rehab places typically euthanize them or use them as food for other animals, so that's not an option. Will they get along ok with Pipi? I don't think so, since Pipi has always been a single squirrel. Would they possibly be able to be together if I build them a large outdoor home (like zoo enclosure)? I'm a bit stuck on what to do with them once they grow. Here is a picture of the little cuties.
