A young Squirrel can be successfully be brought up on infant formula baby milk


although Cimicat cat substitute milk is slightly better





do not contact an animal rescue society


as squirrels are classed as vermin


and it would be destroyed





best of luck with it


I hope your efforts are successfulBABY Squirrel i saved.. NEED HELP!!!!!!!!?
are his eyes open? you need kitten formula. you can try a pet nurser, but i have had better luck with a 3 cc syringe. Keep the little one warm i usually make a nest with a fuzzy blanket piece, and keep a heating pad ON LOW underneath whatever you have him in. Depending on how old you think he is, you may want try and feed him every 2 hrs. As he gets older, go to 4 hours. After each meal, you will have to stimulate him to go to the bathroom. Use a cotton ball wetted down with warm water, and rub it on his belly and near the genital areas, this will make him go to the bathroom. you can find squirrel rehabilators on the web, or call your local vet. Hope this helps!!!!
i am so soz but i have no idea


what u should try is to check if is hurt eg broken legs... if he is fine put him on a tree or something.


give it to the vets is the best thing to do so yes do that. do not feed him it might die if you feed him something he might not eat so take him to the vet or something where they can look after him. you cant keep him he belongs to wild.is where keeps him alive too hope it helps :)
give it cat formula and i fyou go the a pet store they probly have small nipples for bottles get a medium one and feed it cat formula for a while then move it to berries and fruit pecies then let it go
Call animal control. Or a vet clinic thats deals with exotic animals. Animal control will probably come pick the squirrel up. I'd look information up online to see what the internet has to say about pet baby squirrels.
Leave him alone he knows where to go and what to do.
Squirrels can be trained to be hand-fed. Because they are able to cache surplus food, they will take as much food as is available. Squirrels living in parks and campuses in cities have learned that humans are typically a ready source of food. Hand feeding is not recommended, however, because squirrels may carry plague[citation needed] or other animal-borne diseases. Even if they do not carry disease, they often have a hard time telling fingertips from food, and bites are painful. Squirrels are occasionally kept as household pets, provided they are selected young enough and are hand raised in a proper fashion. They can be taught to do tricks, and are said to be as intelligent as dogs in their ability to learn behaviors. In these cases, a large cage and a balanced diet with good variety will keep a pet squirrel healthy and happy. As a pet, the owner must be aware of ';spring fever'; at which time a female pet squirrel will become very defensive of her cage, thinking of it as her nest, and will become somewhat aggressive to defend the area.





Squirrels are often the cause of power outages. They can can readily climb a power pole and crawl across a power line. The animals will climb onto transformers or capacitors looking for food. If they touch a high voltage conductor and a grounded portion of the device at the same time, they are then electrocuted and cause a short circuit that shuts down equipment. Squirrels have brought down the high-tech NASDAQ stock market twice and were responsible for a spate of power outages at the University of Alabama.[9] They will often chew on tree branches to sharpen their teeth but cannot tell the difference between a tree branch and a live power line. Rubber plates (squirrel guards) are sometimes used to prevent access to these facilities.





Squirrels are blamed for economic losses to homeowners, nut growers, forest managers in addition to damage to electric transmission lines. These losses include direct damage to property, repairs, lost revenue and public relations. While dollar costs of these losses are sometimes calculated for isolated incidents, there is no tracking system to determine the total extent of the losses.[10]





Squirrels are also responsible for burrowing into sensitive earthworks such as dams and levees, causing a loss of structural integrity which requires diligent maintenance and prevention. Squirrel burrowing activity has sometimes resulted in catastrophic failures of these structures.[11]





Urban squirrels have learned to get a great deal of food from over-generous humans. One of the more common and inexpensive foods fed to squirrels is peanuts. Recent studies however have shown that raw peanuts contain a trypsin inhibitor that prevents the absorption of protein in the intestines, therefore offering peanuts that have been roasted is the better option.[12] However, wildlife rehabilitators in the field have noted that neither raw and roasted peanuts or sunflower seeds are good for squirrels, since they are deficient in several essential nutrients. This type of deficiency has been found to cause Metabolic Bone Disease, a somewhat common ailment found in malnourished squirrels.[13][1
