    She's a cutie. I'm so glad your other girl is starting to eat. Have you named her yet?

    She's so tiny I would call her Pixie based on that, but sometimes they need a name based on personality which is how my cats Little Monster and Nuisance got their names.😂

    If you're able to syringe her water, maybe try syringe feeding her baby food if you don't have any formula.

    Use a syringe to give her just a few drops at a time and then wait a few seconds for her to swallow before giving her a few more drops. It can take a while but going slower is better. Also, here is a recipe for a hydration solution so that she also gets some electrolytes and her blood sugar doesn't drop too low while she's not eating:

    Homemade Rehydration fluid:
    1 cup warm water
    1 tablespoon honey, molasses, syrup, or sugar
    1 pinch salt

    Just a couple of things with these videos.
    They LOVE to hide in cut pieces of blankets or old sweatshirts.
    Nothing with any kind of loops because they get their nails hung up.
    Make sure the container she is in is deep enough so that she cannot crawl out
    if you aren't using the cage.

    Never let her be able to get to the ground, or to fall.
    She should never be around exposed wires, ever.
    We have seen too many squirrels electrocuted with one bite.

    Her diet is way off.
    Please go to the following link and follow the pyramid.

    Is this their typical diet in your country, or are you just guessing.
    She is absolutely adorable, by the way.

    Below is a description of proper technique from Ms. Cummins. It is important that you learn the safe way to feed a squirrel with a syringe (no needle, of course) if not you can cause the water or food to go into the lungs which is very bad.

    You can use the syringe to dispense baby food from a jar. Just buy the baby food with no sugar added.

    Feeding Technique

    While holding the baby upright but leaning slightly forward with the oral syringe angled slightly upward and forward to form a 90 degree angle with the baby, you can place the tip of the oral syringe right to the babies lips then gently and slowly squeeze one drop for them to taste. (Photo below) When babies are 4 weeks of age and older they may prefer to lie prone on their stomachs while grasping the syringe in their paws. They may start to make suckling, licking or lapping motions with their mouths and tongue then you can slowly squeeze out more drops of fluid. Do not squeeze out a regular stream, instead squeeze a tiny bit then allow them to swallow that amount before squeezing more. With pinkies I go drop by drop because they are so easy to aspirate, i.e. to take fluids into the lungs by suction. If they become aspirated, they can die of pneumonia without proper treatment. Proper treatment is the use of antibiotics, generally Clavamox liquid. With older babies I will squeeze fluid slowly for one second, let them swallow that, then squeeze more. If fluids dribble out the mouth or come out the nose, you are going too fast. If fluids come out the nose, stop feeding immediately, hold them upside down for a few seconds, blot their nose with dry tissue paper then let them wait a few minutes before resuming feeding.

    If the baby does not immediately suck, lick or lap the fluid, you can gently place the tip of the syringe into their mouth. It's sometimes easier to enter from the side of the mouth especially if they already have teeth. Then gently squeeze out a drop of fluid into their mouth for them to taste. It sometimes takes a feeding or two for them to catch onto the new feeding method.

    I curious why the YouTube videos of Sally look like a different picture that was posted about her arrival. The arrival picture looks like a striped squirrel while the you tube looks like more like the pictures I see when I google Caucasian squirrels.
