I'm really sad right now, I'm in fucking tears.... She didnt even get a chance to life... I heard her wheezing all day long, I didn't think anything of it... I'm an idiot...
RIP little buddy. I gave you my best shot.

I once had a job mowing city lawns around parks and stuff; one day on the job there was a rabbits nest in the grass that I was mowing. Unfortunately, the grass was so high that there was no way to see it until after running it over. One baby got sucked through the blades and was all sliced to hell, another was running panicked in circles. Kept watch for any sign of the mother all day, nothing -- felt so bad that I took the baby home and raised it under vet advice for a number of days until one morning I woke up and it was dead.
You're doing the best you can in the circumstances, don't beat yourself up if you are unable to solve everything -- you may be a parent to them, but you're not a god.

you might find this interesting OP
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080914214952AAm3zOH
sounds as if the one with the nosebleed might have had a fractured jaw from falling out of the tree, and i guess with the teeth start growing if they aren't aligned right then that causes more problems, so anyways.
they also mention in there what to feed them as they grow up more
also if you read down further, apparently baby squirrels can't shit or piss

You say he's not taking any liquids now? Well, here's the thing. He might have to go to the bathroom. Young squirrels can't go on their own, and they depend on their mothers to lick them along there backs and in ....that.... general area. This induces bowel movement.
so op, its important that you lick their backs asap, if you want to be a good parent its best to do it the natural way, anything else just might not work very well and could induce shock

kittens are the same and puppys!! mum normally takes care of it when cleaning after eating.
you need to do each 1 after each feed
wet warm water and cotton wool wipe their bums to make them wee and poo.
do it for 30 sec if nothing move on to next.
but be sure to try again next time after feeding
you have to or they will suffer they need stimulating
even human children have a similar reaction to warm water and are stimulated to wee like in the bath or swimming pool.

im a little worried the OP wasn't commited enough to being a good parent and has passed on the back licks.
I fear our squirrels may have all died

We need picture confirmation the squirrels, are in fact, still alive.

One way to help keep them warm is to have a sock of rice and put it into the microwave. Hope it works out though man.

How are you keeping them warm? Maybe get a heat lamp, if you want. Even a flood light will put off enough heat.

are the pooping?
if they arent then you need to feed them and rub their belly with a warm, damp cloth, also dont forget what I mentioned about the squirrel bag around your neck, tucked down into your shirt. they need lots of warmth and just being under the blankets may not be enough

thats not a good idea because if they arent capable of moving out of a hot area they'll die due to the heat, chicks are ambulatory from hatching so they can move in and out to a spot where they're comfortable

They are pooping alright
I've hydrated them. I feed them.
Maybe they are cold. I give it a shot

You're right but from what I remember he said they were moving around.
