Do you think this baby squirrel has a chance of living?

Yesterday at 5-6 PM, I found a baby squirrel stuck tightly inside a black tube in the garage. I was able to gently push him out with no harm done, I heard though they must maintain 98-99 degrees or they'll die and I was afraid to kill him. So I set up an aquarium, put 2 blankets in the form of a nest, and used my bearded dragon's old heating pad to give him slight warmth. The amazing thing is, he stopped breathing really fast its at a normal rate now, I was able to feed him foster milk ( the correct kind and brand), and he even survived the entire night and seems more active and alert. do you think he still has a chance?Do you think this baby squirrel has a chance of living?
it sound promising,usually they don't survive the night the fact he's passed that is good sign. Good luck with the little guy I hope he makes it !!Do you think this baby squirrel has a chance of living?
sounds good as long as he's responding its a good sign. once teeth are showing give him some shelled nuts then he can also eat rat chows good luck
sure just keep feeding regularly ( about every 4 to 5 hours) do a lot of research there is plenty out there, and keep him/her warm. that is the most important thing and go get a bottle of rodent or bird Multi vitamin, they sell this at any pet store and mix it in his milk. calcium and magnesium are VERY crucial to there development. but it should be fine here is a site you can check out it is very informative http://users.hal-pc.org/~jbsum/squirrel.鈥?/a>
