    Exclamation squirrel needs rehabber in Tampa FL - 3-4 week old

    I was just contacted by someone in Tampa near Lowery Park that has a 3-4 week old baby grey squirrel. (Eyes closed, hair with 2 teeth). Has rehydrated with pedialyte and is warm. Has had him for 2 days. She only has KMR kitten formula. That is all the info I have right now.

    I cannot take him b/c I am going out of town tomorrow and am looking for another rehabber in Tampa. Please PM me if anyone can take him.

    Thanks,
    Oneocean

    I have sent oneocean the names and numbers of 3 rehabbers in the Tampa area via pm. I hope one of them will be available.

    Thank you Cava for pointing her in my direction. I’m always happy to help in any way I can.

    Mel, I just took this little guy in. He's thin but good otherwise.

    Thank you for always being there. . I’m glad to hear he’s doing good except for being thin. I know you’ll plump him up in no time.

    I so wish I had started chatting, not just reading posts specific for advice, before my little guy got too old for a friend. Next season I will be ready to take several. Only one large cage or I’d still take more.

    Have you found anyone? I can make a couple calls if not. I know someone was looking for a drey mate recently but she might be willing to take this little guy too. I don’t know her personally but we have a mutual friend.

    I'm sorry nobody in her area was online in the three hours you needed help.

    Many folks are feeding babies or don't get on numerous times a day.

    I'm glad your friend found a place to take the baby.
