What do i do? i have a baby squirrel?

the baby squirrel is small but it has alot of fur and he got his eyes open already idk how many months it must have but i found it in my back yard i want to call for a animal shelter but mean while idk what to feed the baby squirrel.. soo please help me!!What do i do? i have a baby squirrel?
really if its eyes are open and it is running around then it probably has a nest nearby and was just exploring you should leave it be. the only reason anyone should keep baby squirrels is if is very obvious that they have fallen and are hurt or clearly abandoned. Which is usually not the case most people just assume they are. mom is near buy. This time of year the babies are out of the nest and roaming, They would have been born in July or august and is now fine running around on its own. you should put it back in the tree so it can find its nest. And i am not saying this to be mean i have two that i have had sense before there eyes where open but the only reason i have them is cause their tree was cut down and mom was gone and one was hurt from falling. But that baby is grown enough to wonder and didn't need any help. but if you insist on keep the poor thing check out this site and it will tell you everything you need to know. http://users.hal-pc.org/~jbsum/squirrel.鈥?/a>What do i do? i have a baby squirrel?
You should do the right thing for the squirrel and call up wildlife rehabilitators in your area or call your department of natural resources.





The only thing I can suggest feeding the squirrel is KMR which is a Kitten Replacement formula that you can buy at petstores..maybe walmart sells a generic version of the kitten formula?? and use a needle less syringe, be careful not to get the formula into the baby's lungs or it will die.
It really depends on how old it is.You can try a kitten formula and a kitten nursing bottle,or you can try hamster food,and water.If it is old enough to eat the hamster food you wont need to bottle feed it.

The main thing is to keep them warm and hydrated while you look for a wild animal rehabilatator. the link above should be of some help.





Bless you!
Some small nuts I guess? Maybe Some of those nuts cut in half.
