Newbie here! I have a baby flying squirrel that I found in my yard a few weeks ago. I believe he is about 12 weeks old. I currently have a heating pad on low under his cage, and we are keeping the room he's in warmer than the rest of the house. My question is how long does he need a supplemental heat source before he is fine on his own? We were out of town last week, and our house/pet sitter took very poor care of him. His heating pad was no longer under his cage and we found him in pretty lethargic condition. We've nursed him back to health again, but I was wondering how long he'll need the heating pad or if anyone has any better suggestions for heat sources.
Thanks!
