Help with orphaned baby squirrel?

so i decided to keep him to nurse him back to health from what i have read online he is about 4 weeks, i have kept him in a warm enviroment with a baby blanket at the bottom he likes to be held and sleeps alot and otherwise crawls around quite a bit, i always have a good eye on him and feed him about every four hours, i feed him cow milk but i read that wasnt good for squirrels i know this sounds bad but i havent told my parents and dont really want them to know.. is there any substitution for feeding him a proper diet? like commen house hold items?... and how often should they poop? because he hasnt pooped in about 19 hours, i have been stimulating him too. so... help?Help with orphaned baby squirrel?
The best thing to do is take him to a humane society and they can care for your lil guy until he is old enough to care for himself.





They do make a milk replacer in a pet shop. That would probably be the best thing for it.Help with orphaned baby squirrel?
Call a local nature center. This tiny one is ill not goig to the potty for 19 hr is very poor, you have done a great job, it's time to let experts step in. The Human Society may not take him,make a call to them and a nature center.
