Hi I have a friend in Illinois that has a baby squirrrl. Sje was thinking she could do a soft release this fall.
My opinion is that they need to build a nest and good at it , along with ability to find food and water by then. I told her that it wouldnt be a good idea and that she may over winter it.
I'm guessing it will be 23 to 26 weeks old by then. What are some of ya's opinion on releasing this baby boy she named bones, cause he was so bad off when it was found, doing a soft release in the fall around august?
Also it is not trying to build a nest with its leaves and branches it provides at this moment.
Sincerely
Mary r
