Help! My fiance found a flying squirrel baby?

My fiance is a tree trimmer and rescued this little guy after the rest of his family got crushed by the falling tree (I know, I know, so horrible!)





So what do I do with him? What does he eat?Help! My fiance found a flying squirrel baby?
Honestly the best thing you can do with him is to call the wild life Rescue Society and they will either have you bring it to them or they will have someone pick it up.They have everything it needs for its survival and will release it back into the wild when it is old enough. There is to many things that can go wrong trying to raise in on your own from getting proper nourishment into it to protecting it from predictors, such as your cat.Help!

We found a baby squirrel with a broken leg by our house one day. We put him in a small cage and scattered bird seed everywhere. He loved the seed. We also put a small container of water in side. We soon found an animal rescue place that took any type of animal, healed and rehabilitated them. But they LOVE bird seed!
what normal squirels do my great grandfather took in a baby squirel i wasn't born yet and it was about 15 yrs ago! and he took care o a ground hog and he would have a long piece of wood and it would be connected to a tree and to his back pourch and he would feed it and he would give it a bottle of milk or wtaer and give it to him and when it was big enough he would let it go outside and play! and it would come back to himwhenever it want!
I found a baby squirrel last summer. They LOVE milk. Warm up 2% milk in a tiny bottle or a saucer and let him drink it. They also like sunflower seeds without the shell. And also take him in your front or backyard and let him chase you around. Play with him and he will become happier (: Good luck!
Do research on baby squirrels. Find out what their diet is. Make sure to take care of it until it's healthy again.





If you don't like taking care of animals, take the squirrel to a nature center.
Feed him warmed up KMR(Kitten Milk Replacement) which can be found at pet stores.





Then I would start searching for a wildlife rescue organization since it is illegal to keep wild life as pets.
if its really a baby then you can feed it that baby formula stuff
