Keep warm, in container such as plastic , about 1/4 way under box put heating pad on low. Make sure the squirrel can move away from heat.
Yes hydrate with Pedialyte, or you can make it homemade....I'll find the recipe.
Don't worry about feeding they have to be warm.
It won't starve, wait till someone here can be if more help.
Thank you for rescuing sending prayers 🙏

3 Tbsp sugar (tablespoon)

Mix all ingredients in warm water. Store in refrigerator.

His legs may not be broken he might have a spinal injury that is preventing him from using them. Can you post a picture to determine age?
