I am trying to relocate flying squirrels found in my attic to a conservation area. The squirrel appeared very active last night and early this morning and did not appear too stressed.

I feed it a small amount of peanut butter and melon last night and some melon the morning. At noon his activity dropped and I could not awaken it by taping on the cage, but it is still breathing. The weather is very warm here for this time of year 60 F. Another squirrel was caught and released without a problem at noon, but was not fed. I know these squirrels are nocturnal, but is the squirrel dying or in a deep sleep from the food? If a deep sleep how long will it last? If he is dying is there anything I can do to help?
