I just want general advice. My friend cut down a tree in their backyard, and I offered to take care of it. He's eating the kitten milk great, and he's moving around a lot. I just want advice. Thanks!Help for a baby squirrel?
i took care of an infant squirrel for a while. then i had some as pets. so he is old enough to drink on his own. thats great. just make sure it has plenty bedding material, soft wood chips, or shredded newspaper, that would be great and sorta green. the food,, plenty of nuts, apples, crackers, but remember.. they can NOT digest cellulose! so be careful. and please make sure it has plenty of water.

This belongs in the rodent category. Although I found some who fell on the concrete in the winter snow and saved one life. When the squirrel gets so old, it will want to sleep and only let you pet it when it sleeps but will not be handlable once it is grown. And you won't be able to put it out doors loose because it doesn't know how to hide or run from other animals or protect itself. And if you give it to animal control they will put it to sleep. It is better to find a local ZOO and offer it to them before it is weened so they will feel in their hearts to raise it there. In some states it is illegal to keep wild animals.
please find a wildlife rehabber in your area to care for the squirrel properly so it can be released. If you raise this squirrel yourself, it is a death sentence for the squirrel.
feed it sunflower seeds
why the hell have you put this in the bird section???
