What is you opinion of the breed? Located in NW region of the US. I believe it's a Douglas, just my opinion. Others have stated red but I rehab and mine don't have the red belly.

I think you are right - too much gray for a red. So cute!

That's interesting, I've never heard of a Douglas squirrel so I looked it up. They to me look very much like a fox squirrel. Do they stay on the smaller side🤔
Very beautiful baby 🥰

They actually look like little gray red squirrels - same tiny size, body shape, behavior, etc.

Attached are two pictures. One is a red squirrel and the other is a Douglas squirrel. Both squirrels are similar in body composition with the exception of the belly color. All the reds I have encountered have a white belly. Has anyone ever seen a red with a rust belly? If so, what state?
