What do with a baby squirrel we found abandoned?

there was a little baby squirrel in our yard, laying in the grass and wiggling around. his eyes aren't even open. his mom wasn't around and he was cold..so we have him warming up in a blanket with a heating pad underneith. but what can we do with him? what to feed him in the meantime? like who do we call, because we don't have a license or anything like that but i couldn't just leave it there to die..What do with a baby squirrel we found abandoned?
This is Saturday. You'll be lucky to find a vet open today but call a few anyway. They should be able to give you names, numbers of licensed rehabbers in your area.





Next go to ';Squirrel Nutrition and Care'; ( cut and paste into the search box)





Read and follow to the letter what Clarissa directs. This is the BEST rehabber in the country, bar none.





Do this now while the baby is warming up. Do NOT attempt to feed a cold baby as it can kill. Move the baby half off the pad, too hot will also kill it.





You call it him, if the genitals are between the hind legs, she's a girl. Little boy parts are up on the belly. Good Luck!What do with a baby squirrel we found abandoned?
you can also call your vet, many times they will call you back if you leave a message and tell you want is the best route.
Call your local county extension (agricultural) agent and ask him. Best answer.
call the animal shelter. they'll be able to tell you what you need to do.
