    If they are still crying out like that and mama is no where to be found, chances are something happened to her. Young baby squirrels usually don't wonder out of the nest like that. First of all, keep the cat inside or somewhere away from the baby squirrels. No, I would not put them in another nest - that could be very dangerous for them. If mama truly is gone, they will be very hungry and most likely come looking for help. Hopefully you will be able to catch them if that is the case.

    I think I'd park my butt in a chair very close to the tree you saw them around yesterday. If they were hungry yesterday they will come down again today and probably be very willing to come to you by this morning, or afternoon. Be patient. Take a good book...

    Your squirrel has a tag on? Why is that?
    Can you explain more?
    How did the squirrel get out and how old
    is he?

    Yeah, I saw that. I was wondering if he's/she's asking Rsdeane to send him/her the trap?
