New flying squirrel Mom! Boy or girl?? Help please!

[Nannyreaves]

Hi! The night before Thanksgiving it was stormy and quite windy. My blue heeler dog, who has saved baby bunnies and kitties, alert to a baby in need. And we could barely hear the crying over the storm. I turned my flashlight on my phone and went out to the yard. Took my coat off to 'catch' the baby squirrel. Got him/her inside and warmed up. Immediately got online to figure out an emergency milk replacement since I was out of my puppy milk and kmr. (We rescue) Talked to a couple of centers on YouTube of all places, made the milk and ordered the 20/50, etc. He/she is doing great! I am trying to determine the sex. I've always been quite terrible at it. Lol. I have a couple of pics. May I please post them and get some help?? Thank you so much.

She is a girl... :-)


Flyers need to be released in a mixed-sex group ("colony") and not alone as we can do with greys. Are you planning to release her?

[Nannyreaves]

No. We won't be. The state where I am from actually had a law into place about it even.

Flyers are awesome, and I have only raised one! Hope you are a night person...mine would come alive at about 7:30pm and go go go like a lunatic until 2-3am.

I am definitely learning the night time routine! Lol. Luckily my husband has to be at work quite early in the AM's. So I'm awake and starting my day at 1am! If he hadn't have gotten this new job, I know I would be struggling. Everything happens for a reason!
