My husband has brought in two more babies around six weeks old. I have one already. She's right around nine and a half weeks old. Would it be ok to put them together? Maybe introduce them through the cages first? Or would this not be a good idea?

Re: 6 weeks and 9.5 weeks
This is a iffy one,could go one way or the other. I would first place their cages right up against each other for a few days so they can smell each other and even touch paws before having full access. It all depends on your older squirrel's' temperament; some at that age are just too snotty to put up with babies, others embrace the joy of being an older sibling. Take it slow.

Thanks for posting my pics. Is this baby a grey squirrel and would you guess him to be around 6-6.5 weeks old?

I'd guess 7 weeks +/-.

Thanks. Yes that's kind of what I started thinking since I've seen him flip his little tail up over his back.
