    Default Need a Rehabber or babysitter

    I found 4 baby boy grey squirrels the Tuesday b4 Labor Day (eyes were closed). They are doing great, thanks to the squirrel board info found and I'm guessing they are 6 to 7 weeks old now. We successfully raised a single boy and released to the wild several years ago (came back to visit for 2 yrs). Now I have these 4 (momma was killed by a kitty), which is going great...but I have a dilemma. I have a vacation coming up 9/20 to 9/25 and haven't been able to find a babysitter. I don't have a licensed rehabber in my county and I would prefer someone to just take care of them and give them back to me anyway...so I'm afraid to call anyone in neighboring county rehabbers as I may never see my babies again Plus this is kind of silly, but I'm afraid that the rehabber won't feed Fox Valley food! How do I find just a caring person in my area to babysit? Any suggestions?

    Where are you located? It's hard to find a babysitter if we don't know where you are. PM if you don't want to disclose your state and county.

    Thanks Jackie in Tampa...would love to have an excuse to go to Tampa, but that wouldn't help me out with my babysitting problem I PM'd another member...not sure I should disclose for everyone to see where I live.

    Wink Re: Need a Rehabber or babysitter

    Found a sitter! We are involved in scouting and one of our scout mom's is taking them in while we are on vacation. I am sooooo excited and feel very confident of her doing great with them. Also found someone who does wild animal rehab (not licensed, but has raised baby raccoons, squirrels and even a monkey) nearby as a backup. Found her through friend of a friend on Facebook...sometimes it helps to network!
