Please help? Question about baby (young) squirrel?

Do squirrels get sick if you hold them too much like wild mice do? Or is it okay since they are always with there mom when sleeping until they leave.Please help? Question about baby (young) squirrel?
I would not imagine that holding him would affect him in any way.





What I think you have to worry about is if you raising him will affect him later in life. If he has all his food provided, he is kept warm, and is contained, he might not be able to take care of himself in the wild.





Consider taking him to a SPCA. That is what I did when I found an abandoned baby bird. They will raise it in a way that will not affect it's ability to care for itself when it is released.
