How do you feed baby squirrels?

We just found two newborn squirrels. We don't know if the mother's coming back. But how do we feed them?How do you feed baby squirrels?
This same exact thing happened with two newborn squirrels were in my backyard. One was dying but the other one was very active.


I left some milk mixed with seeds right by them so when woke up they could eat a little.


I kept an eye on them and they ate some of it, but then went of on there own.How do you feed baby squirrels?
To late now. Should not have moved them, any chance the mother will come back for them is gone now. She will abandon the kits on account of your smell even if she did come back. Feed them with a very small bottle such as one you might find in a doll house set. Consult one of the animal activist organizations in your area for details.
Go to the pet store/Grocery Store and buy some wild animal seeds. They will love them as much as an adult squirrel loves nuts! Just make sure you don't touch them (give them your scent) or the mother WON'T come back and who will be to blame?
Go to a pet store and buy some bird feed, sunflower seeds, and apples.


Don't give them the apples whole, just cut them into little, tiny pieces.
Go to walmart and get some wild animal seeds they love it and they can eat it well because that is what mother would have given them.
LEAVE THEM ALONE!! the mother might be fine and have just left them for a while, if you touch them she'll reject them!!!
i would have just left them alone, but now i would say call a vet or an animal shelter or something
