I just took in a five and a half week old baby about a day and a half ago. I tried to send them to our local wildlife facility since it is fall but they were not taking anymore in. They seemed to be running out of patience looking for somewhere for her to go so I took the baby. She was very underweight and dehydrated but we've got her hydrated she's eating well and doing well and putting on weight like a pro. I'm trying to plan for the winter. I cannot overwinter her by herself. I can take up to three more tops to overwinter her with or I'm hoping to find her somewhere by about 8 weeks where she can be with other squirrels over the winter. We live on 8 acres surrounded by many many more. Now have a release cage out in the woods with plenty of room for a litter. I did a single soft release very successfully in the spring and have been doing squirrels for 25 years. So if it's a better case scenario or all that's available I wouldn't mind taking in a couple more but my main goal is getting her with other squirrels to overwinter within a few weeks and I don't want to wait till the last minute. Anybody got space or maybe some singletons her age that need somewhere to go?
