Hi. Is there a wildlife rehab center anywhere near you that would take in this little guy/gal? I used to volunteer at a wildlife care center and I heard that it's really hard to care for baby squirrels. I guess their nutritional needs change quickly and if they imprint on humans they're almost impossible to release. Good luck with this...
Different animal, same routine. It's not injured and it's breathing just fine.
Squirrel baby?
ReplyDeleteYou win! Apparently it's almost 3 weeks old. Kat's already fed it Pedialyte and it's nestled all cozy in a shoebox -- with a LID!!

well - I was gonna say a possum. They're similar aren't they??
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a dog until I saw it's claws

ReplyDeleteIn fact, there IS a wildlife rehab place in Lynnwood. I took an injured squirrel there in the spring. Let me know if you want the address, Carol.
ReplyDeleteIs this poor little critter another kitty victim?
Lynn
Oh he's so tiny!
ReplyDeleteI'd definetly take him up to Lynnwood for the best bet at survival.
hmm living in an urbanised country with hardly any wildlife I thought it was a dog puppy...a weird dog puppy :p
ReplyDeleteHow is the baby squirrel doing?
