    Default Injured baby squirrel

    Yesterday my husband found a baby squirrel that it appeared both it's back legs were broken. We called a rehabber and got no response. Sadly the little guy did not survive the night. This afternoon there was another baby, I'm assuming a sibling, and it appears one of his back legs is also broken. No rehabbers will call me back because it's after 5. I need help.

    Start with this 6 page primer on baby squirrel care:

    https://www.henryspets.com/1-baby-squirrel-care-guide/

    Then if you have questions, please post them. I am not certain of anyone from TSB that is in KC but hopefully others do...

    The Greek yogurt should be okay in the interim.
