Hello everyone, like the title says I found a baby squirrel, it's actually the second one I have found in a few years, the first died before I could really help it, this one was very small, eyes were just opened I believe
I put it in a box where I found it and waited 2 days, the mother never came back, i got it rehydrate, and started feeding with the goats milk formula while waiting for the formula to show up in the mail
As of now I have had it for a month, it's weened, eating solid foods, very active, very strong and it seems very healthy
The only real concern I have is it licks my hands constantly, which makes me think it's missing something in it's diet, I'm currently feeding it assorted nuts, a small amount of apple, oranges, bananas, etc once every few days as treats, it's drinking water just fine, I read that sunflower seeds are bad for them but others have said to feed them to it, so I'm just wondering what I should actually feed it
The goal is to rehabilitate it and release it but we are just starting winter in Oregon and I know it won't survive until spring
Any help is much appreciated
Thank you
