How to Take Care of a Baby Squirrel - Everything You Need to Know

I don’t even have a baby squirrel and I watched this entire video. Precious things 💜

Just wanted to come back here to say a huge THANK YOU!!!!! Because of this video, I was able to keep a 1-2 week old baby alive for 3 days until I could get it to a rehabilitator. She was in shock that I was able to keep it alive that long because it was so young. You rock!!!

my cat recently just brought in a squirrel and this is a literal lifesaver thanks dude

Thank the gods for this video. I found a squirrel on my walk that is still really young, probably 3-4wks old. He's got blood around the mouth and nose, but I'm going to do my best to keep him alive through the night to contact a wildlife rehab center in the morning. He's got a hot rice sock and some shirts to nest in, and I'm going to try making some pedialyte since we're on lockdown for COVID-19.

Thank you for taking care of those orphaned babies. God bless you

He was crawling around the forest behind where I live crying and my cat found him and brought him to me without hurting him at all. So now we are warming the furry little guy up and hydrating him. He’s about three weeks old.

Thank you so much for your video!! The township cut down a tree, babies fell from the nest, momma didn't come back to get them so after about 20 hours... we took them in. They're about 2 weeks old. This video helped me care for them until I could get to a wildlife rescue and drop them off as there aren't any near me. You rock! :)

Thank you for this video. We just found a 2 week old baby squirrel very tiny about 2 inch long, blind, with some gray hair on back but kicking and showing the sines for wanting to live in our driveway . We did not know what to do other than to keep it warm. After watching this video we bought the food recommended and do everything you show us how. Its been 24 hrs and the baby is still alive so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

I just found 5 baby squirrels about 7 to 10 weeks old and this video was so helpful! I called our nearest rehab centers and due to covid regulations they can't come get them... we're taking care of them now and getting some help releasing them with the national park when they mature. Wish us luck and thanks for the vid!

I just found one in my yard. Going to try and nurse it up to let it free. Great video young man! Bless your heart.

Just found 4 baby squirrels this morning and I took them to the vet. But I really did think that they were kittens, so this information was really great. I now know the difference between cat's and squirrels.

Thanks so much! A baby squirrel showed up in our front yard yesterday. His mother never came for him so he's now in the house with us. I've never done raised a baby squirrel before, and I was scared by some of the info I found on the internet, but your video has given me the confidence to think I can do this.

I have 2 lil handsome baby squirrels that's about a week old. My niece work for a tree company. She found 2 and rescue them. Now I'm a squirrel mama taking good care of them. I'm in love with Ziggy and Skippy 🥰🥰🥰. Thanks for this awesome video sir.

Thank you so much for posting such an educational video. I’ve only ever bottle fed and cared for kittens until today. Now I feel more confident about taking care of my baby squirrel:)

You video really helped me. When Dorian came through it knocked 2 baby squirrels out of their nest which they were approx the same age as what you have in this video. You explained everything well and gave me confidence to take care of these little ones. Your website is a huge help. Mine now have eyes open tails curling and sitting up they are chewing on the rodent blocks some but not a lot they really got into them today after their feeding they are healthy and I’m excited to be able to release them when it’s time. I currently have mine in an old bird cage which is pretty big. My husband has materials to make a release box when it’s time. Thank you for doing this video

THANK YOU!! This video saved a dehydrated 2 wk old baby squirrel I found in my driveway. She's almost 2 years old now :) I followed your instructions to the T and she THRIVED. I can't thank you enough. <3

I love this video. When I was younger I was attacked by one. That’s cause my cousin had it in a cage. When he left I opened the cage and it came str8 to me bitting me. They rushed me to the hospital to get checked. Since then I respected and was scared of them…. I still love them

We just found a baby squirrel 🐿 on the road, seems like 3 weeks. We tried to give it back to mother but no any adult came from the tree 🌲 We decided to keep it and feed little buddy until it grows enough to get back to the wild. Thanks for the video, really helpful and unique info 🙏

Thank you so much for this! My husband is a lineman and they removed a pole not knowing there was a nest. They believed it killed or injured the mom because she didnt come for them so he brought them home knowing i would care for them until we could find a rehab center for them

Great video. This video helped me with my first time. I’ve raised over 20 now. Hardest part is releasing them after getting attached to them.
