If it's eyes are not open yet it is less than 5 weeks old. A baby squirrel can not produce body heat by itself. That is why they stay with the mother so long. Try putting a heating pad on low under the blanket you keep it on. Do not use towels because they can get their nails caught in a towel. Make sure you feed it only puppy milk replacer, and when it is done eating make sure you stimulate it to pee and poop.
I would try and find an animal reserve to take it. they will care for it and put it back in the wild properly. you caring for it may make it rely on you and never leave. if they will not take it, ask them if they will help you do the proper thing for it. Such as proper food and nutrition. it may be severly ill and that is why it is cold. If no animal reserves around you, contact a few pet shops. It is a rodent and they all carry rodents so they can aim you in the right direction
I DON'T NO IF THEY R COLD BLOODED.i DON'T THINK THEY R.WRAP THE SQUIRREL IN A COUPLE OF BLANKETS AND THAT MITE KEEP IT WARM.I DON'T THINK 1 IS ENOUGH
Use a heating pad on low to keep it warm. Feed it like you would any other baby animal and contact your local animal refuge, they will be more than happy to take it and help it on its way to a full life. They are very vicious and can distroy someones home, so please be very careful.
What are you feeding the squirrel? They need a special type of food mixture, not anything that you may have in your house. You really need to take the squirrel to a wildlife rehabilitater. They are properly trained for taking care of wildlife. There is a good chance that you may do more harm than good and possessing a wild animal in the U.S. without a license is illegal.

Oh no no, they are mammals and are warm blooded. Keep the baby warm! Chances are it wont survive, but maybe get a heating pad or keep it under your shirt! What are you feeding it? Try a watered down puppy formula, I believe I read that that has the proper nutrients... Good luck hun.
Take it to the vet.But ry to keep it warm.I hope it does not die.
No, they aren't cold-blooded. As much as possible, keep it against your body for warmth. Its not strong enough to produce its own heat so it needs outside heat - a towel won't do that. That is what the mother would do. Try to find some sort of wildlife rescue group in your area for more advice.
