Meet our Skittles

[complacent.maelstrom]

My husband is a landscaper. After a huge storm the other night... he found a baby squirrel who is approx 10 days old... a tree squirrel... he/she is eating well... and seems to be doing good... any advice would be great...

Welcome on board and thanks for caring about the critters :).

First I suggest you attempt to find a wildlife rehabilitator, since it is illegal for you to have a squirrel in your possession.

Having said that, and you can't find anybody to help you out locally, here is just about everything you'll need to know. If there are still any questions and you just want to share the progress, please keep posting away :).

just wanted to say thanks.... i had already visited the website and read a lot... we had already contacted the wildlife vet here too... we do live in the 'country' me & my husband have both rescued and released several different types of animals... thats all we're looking 2 do... give a baby a chance it didn't have before my husband happened upon skittles.... lookn forward to anymore info anyone can lend

[complacent.maelstrom]

you were fined?? just for making sure they lived and released??

[MissDolittle]

Yes, for the same intentions you and your husband have...stupid laws we got huh?

Anyways, there isn't really any more information I can give you other than what's on the website, however, if you have specific questions, shoot!
