Found baby squirrel.
Hi,
I found a baby squirrel two days ago while walking my dogs. Her eyes are still closed. She is healthy and not injured in any way. Waited to find the mother but took her once it got dark, was afraid another animal would get her.
We are feeding her puppy formula with a syringe, also tried an eye dropper but just read in your forum that I shouldn't use that.
She eats well and then curls up to sleep. I am trying to help her go to the bathroom, any help you could give me with that? We are keeping her warm, in a box, with a heating lamp close by, but not too close (we have other animals, and have cared for baby squirrels before, but this one seems younger).
any other advice you can give on how to care and do's and don'ts is greatly appreciated.
Here are some pictures. CAn you tell me the age?
Thank you!
Lina
