I too recently found what appears to be a 6-8 week old baby squirrel. He seems to be doing quite well. I give him water with an eye dropper for hydration and currently am feeding him squirrel food, nuts, broccoli, apple, and have ordered the rodent blocks from Henry's. I have a few questions however. Does he still require formula? Will I be able to release him back to nature and how long before that can happen? Am I feeding him the correct diet . He stays warm and will sleep in my pocket with a cover. Currently have been keeping him in a medium sized dog carrier-but have thought about a bird cage-any accommodation sugggestions?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sandi
