Orphaned baby squirrel needs help

[Hasdrubal]

Good evening everyone,

We found in our yard a baby squirrel that fell from its nest this afternoon. We waited for it's mother to come back and played the baby squirrel cry video, mommy squirrel didn't come back. This doesn't look good.

The baby squirrel is 2 weeks old (has fur, 1 ear open, eyes closed). See the attached picture. We hydrated it this the homemade Pedialyte solution recommended, and have goat milk to feed it tomorrow.

We love squirrels but don't have the skills or the area needed to make it survive and thrive, and would need a rehabber to take and help the baby.

I'm located in New Rochelle, NY (Westchester county).

Thanks in advance for the little guy (or gal).

We have an incredible rehabber just down the street from you.
I sent her a text message alerting her that you need help.
For now, please just keep baby warm
No food, no water, just warmth.

Joyous update! I managed to climb 30 ft up the pine tree and access the drey to save the siblings of the 1st rescued!

We have 3 other baby squirrels to rescue now (I've already reached out to Island Rehabber via text but she's not available today).

[CritterMom]

WOW! Two grays and another black one! You guys have earned your stars here!

[Hasdrubal]

All's well, ends well!

I'm delighted to let everyone know that the 4 siblings have been reunited and are healthy.

Big thanks to Maura for coordinating the rescue, Jake for accepting to take care of the 4 compadres, and my wonderful wife who refused to give up and realized the pine tree could be climbed up!
