Steps to saving the babies


1. Keep the baby squirrel warm.Keeping the baby warm means the baby needs an external source of heat. Use a hot water bottle or soda bottle filled with hot water. Wrap a towel around the bottle to prevent direct contact with baby squirrel. Lay baby on towel area, then lightly cover baby with piece of towel to prevent any drafts.Ideal temperature is 98.5 degrees


2. You have to be able to feed a minimum of every 2 to 4 hours depending on the age. The baby needs the correct formula (no kitten, human baby formula or homemade concoctions or goats milk). Incorrect types can lead to metabolic bone disease. You need to stimulate the baby after every feeding or urine and stool backup will lead to bacterial build up in the gut and eventual death.


3. The baby squirrel's best chance for survival is with the mother squirrel and if that is not possible, then with a certified wildlife rehabilitator. This is said not to scare you off, but to be realistic. You can locate the nearest wildlife rehabilitator any where in or out of the United States at How To Locate a Wildlife Rehabilitator . If you decide to raise the baby squirrel yourself, the information contained in this manual will enable you to take care of the baby squirrel's basic needs up to releasing. Rabies is uncommon in squirrels, but squirrels can carry tetanus so make sure you are current on the tetanus shot. If you are going to take care of the baby yourself read each section before you act. See First Assessment.

can u tell us why they are gonna die?








if its because theyre babies and dont have their parents put them in a box with a towel or blanket, put a watterbottle with warm water under the blanket so it can be like their mothers warmth and a tiky clock so they think its their mothers heart. If they need food and cant eat yet, bottle feed them.
Look in yellow pages and on internet for wildlife rehabilitation agency near you. People there are experienced and can tell you what to do until you can get the little ones to them.
Dont let them die. Give them food and water! Duh! My sister in law adopted a stranded baby squirrel, and he's fully domesticated now...and healthy.
how can we help you if all we know is they're about to die
so is my bloody snail of what ?
VET NOW!
