    Can you possibly tell where he came from, was this inside of your house? Are there others...
    Can you put him in a box with a heating pad? I will look quickly for a rehabber in your area.

    Do you have a gram scale, like a kitchen one to weigh Donnie? That will help determine the amount to feed and how well he/she is progressing. What are you using to feed Donnie with?

    I hate glue boards. PETA is very active in trying to get them pulled from store shelves (I'm not a member of PETA, but this is a good cause).

    Re feeding: The main thing to watch out for is 'aspirating' (search info on 'aspiration'). That has to do with how rapidly they try to drink and sometimes the position of the syringe. One of our members named 'NewYorker' is very good with baby squirrels. I'll email her about this.

    Meanwhile, there's some info here:
    http://www.rainbowwildlife.com/baby-squirrel.htm

    Formula: Esbilac Puppy formula is probably available at a local pet store.

    I'll try to get NewYorker to check in soon.

    If you do call the GC they may be able to help you find a closer rehabber.
    I will do some checking on it myself tomorrow.

    Hi fellow NY rehabbers. Yes, that link contains some very good baby squirrel information and was actually taken directly from our own Chris Clark's website www.squirrelsandmore.com (upper right corner of this page). Oh well, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, LOL!!

    You're in good hands, linda. The best thing is to get your Esbilac puppy formula and nipple attachments and then read up on the basic points of baby squirrel care. Squirrels are vigorous creatures even as babies, and truly want to live and thrive, most of the time, but their diets are complex and they aspirate easily. If you can educate yourself about those two main points you'll be off to a good start.

    Unhappy Re: found baby squirrel on glue board

    talked to a woman in pittsburgh this afternoon who will take DONNA tomorrow she was on the list that I got from your info. I am going in to visit my daughters and since there was nobody up here where I am that could rehab her my brother suggested allegheny co. I will be sorry to see her go I believe she will be better off because this woman has done this before MY little angel is eating apples and crackers and peanutbutter as suggested by Lois in pgh. and already climbed onto the top of her box. We have 2 dogs and am afraid she may come to harm if she stays here! again thanks to all who came to our rescue I will come back often just to stay in touch with such wonderful caring people stay safe y'all and God bless!!!!!

    Aw, great to hear that she's doing well and will be off to someone who can help her along her way to being released someday. Thank you for caring enough to make sure she was safe and for finding someone to continue her care! They really wrap you around their little paws, don't they?
