juevenile flying squirrel

[korilee93]

we found a young flying sqirrel in our yard when we were getting ready to mow the grass. He appeared to have fallen out of the tree in our yard. My husband put on gloves and picked him up. He can run alright, but I think that he's not old enough to fly fully yet. He spread his flaps when he leapt from my husbands hand and landed about 3 ft. away in the grass. What do we feed him besides nuts? How do we care for him properly? Any help is apppreciated.

Dear korilee;
Did you scroll down and check the flying Squirrel Forum? There may be quiet some info there to help you. And other Flier parents there that you could get some helpful info from. Check it out

Hi!

I don't really have any advice except to maybe google info on how to care for a squirrel, but that is really exciting that you found a baby flying squirrel. I've never seen one up close before. I hope that you can get it back to good health!

good luck!

Also, do you think you could post some pics of the flying squirrel? Is it a northern or a southern flying squirrel?
