A friend's friend found a appx 5 week old fox squirrel on Tuesday. I managed to get her from her Wednesday after my friend contacted me, since I rehabbed a squirrel successfully last year.
It's been cold and rainy the last couple of days, so the squirrels in my area (LA County) don't tend to go out.
On the Wednesday I got her from the gal, I spent 4 hours playing the baby cry video clip, with no squirrel sighting. At some point I heard another baby a few times, but could not pin-point where the cries were coming from, since they were very short. The area is very noisy due to traffic and it was extremely windy, so that didn't help.
I am going to attempt again this weekend, but in the case I cannot reunite her with her mom, I am seeking a rehabber to be on standby to take her on.
I have too many trips planned out this year, so I don't have the decent time to raise her (my last boss was understanding and let me have time to the other guy, my new boss isn't as understanding)
I will provide some Fox Valley formula I purchased if you take her on as well as can provide food, as long as the license rehabber takes her on
