Ijust found a litter of 4 baby squirrels that apparently fell from their tree... (UPDATE)
#22047588 - 08/05/15 02:09 PM (8 years, 5 months ago) |

I brought them home. I don't know how to care for them. I don't know what to do 
I'm gonna call the SPCA to see what they can do. They are helpless... Do you think the SPCA will care for 4 baby squirrels??
Here are the little buggers. Look how cute they are. They are all crying and squeeking...
What do I do

Raise them yourself, they look big enough to be bottle fed until they can eat nuts.
Then you'll have pet squirls!

You shouldn't raise them. I just have a feeling you'd be a horrible parent. Maybe you shouldn't have kids either.

you can just google and find info on how to care for them http://www.orphanedwildlifecare.com/squirrelcare.htm
or you can just give them to someone a little more professional (organization) ..I would have left them be and maybe just kept an eye on them

Ok people, seriously.
Do I put em back where I found them, alone, squeeking to get immediately eaten by cats?
Do I take some care of them at all???
I've had them for 10 minutes and I'm already attached

Well if the cats were at them, or even around, well that sucks, because I'm telling you that mommas looking for them if she's not dead. Barring cats, or a dead mother, try taking them back. Even if you just sit them at the bottom of the tree and go watch them from a distance for a while. Maybe read a book in the sun. If it gets dark out all sorts of creatures could get at them.. Look for a 'nest.'
I've seen this happen before and momma just ran down and carried it back up.
I know it's a confusing situation, I'd be helping out too if I could. I save bugs, lol.

if you keep them bottle weak formula or get lambs formula and use weaker amounts
if eyes open then after they feeding liquid try baby rice or weetabix warmed with the formula milk to get em on solids.
then look up what they need after that.
mealworms will give protein thats easy to digest too
if you keep them its going to get nuts(pardon the pun) when they start running around lol

If you wanted to have the mother reclaim them, do what XLcaps said, put them back and watch from a distance.

I know this is the best thing to do, but I found them on the sidewalk of a 4 lane road.... Why would momma squirell leave them there squeeking on their own? Did she get run over? Why wasn't she already there?

Raise them until they're big enough to run around, then release em. Who knows, maybe they'll stick around your house, and then you'll have wild pet squirrels.

i used to have a pet squirrel,
i didnt really raise it or anything, but it lived in our backyard in our palm tree, i always thought that was kinda cool, like it lived better than the other squirrels, i mean ur very own palm tree!, that's like a mansion for small squirrel
but yea it used to live in our palm tree and it would come down to feed like everyday,

Honestly, they are dead. They are too young to survive on their own, and they wouldn't survive if you put them back. I'm not trying to be mean. Just put em somewhere as safe as you can find close to where you found em. That's their best chance.

Fuck, you just had to post that, like 2 minutes after I left to bring them back where I found them...
It says that if the mother is absent for more than one day, they will wiggle out of the nest............. FUCK!!!
That means I just left them for dead.... God dammit. Here I thought I was doing the right logical thing to do...
Now I want to go get them back.

idk if anyone said it yet, but a wildlife rehab center.
You should be able to find one around you. The SPCA probably will not take in the squirrels, but they may contact an appropriate organization, so it couldn't hurt.

I was gonna link that page, but you beat me to it. 
Anyways, I don't know what your situation is now since you say went back and left them there, but here's a page that helps you find info on wildlife rehabilitation specifically for squirrels.
http://www.squirrel-rehab.org
If you read their FAQ, they have a bunch of info on what to do, and why you shouldn't feed them. Not sure if that was covered in the other URL in the post that I'm replying to.
Hope I could help and good luck with your Squirrels!

UPDATE
So I went were I left them. They were still there and still alive! No mother in sight. They are abandoned for real....
So I bought an oral syringe and some milk and I brought em back home. I'll take care of them and if I can't anymore, ill shove them down the SPCA's throat. I won't take no for an answer.
So I just fed them few minutes ago... Cutest thing ever. Now they are sleeping all grouped on top of each other.
My conscience is clear.

Well that's cool. Nice that you gave them a shot at not being orphans. Just make sure they are contained once they are especially mobile. I wasn't kidding about the housefire thing. They should be ready to be released before winter. 2-2.5 months maybe. If not you can always build them a cool enclosure for the winter.

aww, wasn't expecting a happy ending. good to hear
Had a similar situation as a child. found 4-5 baby bunnies that seemed abandoned. I just sat with them and tried to give them water/food but they died a few hours later.

mr canada has a heart afterall.
you know that you can raise them into your pets right? if they learn not to fear humans, squirrels can be calmly domestic.
as they grow up have more interaction with them with the closest tree you have, start letting them runup it and come back to you, so they have a home inside and a home outside.
then when they're adults just let em live outside in that same tree, some might leave, but if they stay , you'll always be able to go to that tree with some nuts and meat or whatever and have a little squrelly friend climb around your arms on your shoulders and be chill.
i've seen it before, it's fucking adorable.

They can also bite without warning and present a need for preventative injections and skin grafts.

Didn't read the thread, but baby squirrels ain't too hard to take care of, they just need a lot of attention. They have to be fed quite often and need to be warm.

I've raised at least 4 litters of squirrels, and if they bite you did something to deserve it.

I understand that raising them is one thing because the instance I'm speaking of wasn't with a hand raised squirrel. They're still wild animals though. I've heard lots of good stories about raising wild animals just like I have bad ones.
My dad was feeding squirrel he knew well once and the little sucker bit his thumb and tore so much skin off that they had to take skin from his forearm.

Oh, a wild squirrel? Yeah, they're fuckers! 
Squirrels ain't as bad as coons, which have to raised from a baby to make a worthy pet, but you still gotta watch 'em.

Alright so I called a vet to get proper advice as to what to feed them. He told me puppy milk. So i got that.
Now all I have to do is keep warm and clean.
Feeding them is the cutest thing ever.

you need to get a kitten milk replacement, it will have the nutrients they need, most pet stores will carry it. get a bag such as a crown royal bag and wear them around your neck. on your breaks at work you feed them, keep them tucked in your shirt between breaks. if you dont think you can do that they will get by for several hours without feeding and it wont hurt them but you'll need to feed a few times before ed and a few times when you get up, possible even getting up once or twice in the night. if you can get help with feeding then do so
regular milk isnt good for them, get the kitten formula

sometimes I get birds that bang into my windows, maybe dehydrated. I have a clean paint brush and I make up a solution of honey in water with a pinch of salt. It's not quite rehydration solution but where I like there's a big old lake and rivers a mile away. It's been nice holding a bird in my hand, drip feeding it from the brush and when its ready, just flies away.

Too much to scroll through and read but youre great for saving them. Id suggest only to keep them warm and go and find some kitten formula to feed them with a dropper until their eyes are open and are squirming around. Then they can start weaning to solids. I've not had the privilege of saving a wild baby since i was a little girl.
If you want them to be able to make it in the wild and not keep as pets, id give them as little attention as possible, only feedings. Or find a professional to care for them.
But yeah, kitten or puppy formula is probably the way to go here. Maybe theres even a nursing squirrel mama somewhere that will adopt them.

very cool. 
I'm reminded of a time I accidentally saved a bird. I witnessed my awesome cat leaping into the air and catching a bird midair. (no joke. I didn't see how fast the bird was flying or anything, but still.) I was shocked and yelled praise at my cat in excitement, which startled him so badly that he let the bird go and ran away 
I felt so bad for ruining what may have been the coolest moment of his life. I just realized this is probably a lifelong grudge and explains why he favors my brother 
The bird flew away seemingly unscathed but I'm sure he was wounded at least somewhat.

Haven't read the majority of the thread, but I'm glad you are taking care of them! Keep us updated! Also(don't know if you did) but take some pictures of them and post it!

So I went were I left them. They were still there and still alive! No mother in sight. They are abandoned for real....
So I bought an oral syringe and some milk and I brought em back home. I'll take care of them and if I can't anymore, ill shove them down the SPCA's throat. I won't take no for an answer.
So I just fed them few minutes ago... Cutest thing ever. Now they are sleeping all grouped on top of each other.
My conscience is clear.
you need to get a kitten milk replacement, it will have the nutrients they need, most pet stores will carry it. get a bag such as a crown royal bag and wear them around your neck. on your breaks at work you feed them, keep them tucked in your shirt between breaks. if you dont think you can do that they will get by for several hours without feeding and it wont hurt them but you'll need to feed a few times before ed and a few times when you get up, possible even getting up once or twice in the night. if you can get help with feeding then do so
regular milk isnt good for them, get the kitten formula
arent you meant to keep them in your pants?

The little critters are doing good this morning. I hydrated them yesterday (they still are dehydrated though). As of today I'll be feeding them every 2-3 hours. They are sleeping liike babies under a few layers to keep them warm.
It's a very interesting experience. I've never really had a pet that was solely taken care of by me and 100% dependent on my presence. I'm not allowed to die anymore... I bet that feeling is multiplied by a million when you actually have a baby.
They still look the same as the pic in the OP, so I won't post new ones (plus I'm having trouble. I posted a pic earlier, it says its broken and yet there a +2 next to it, can you guys see that pic? Is it only a problem on my side?)

Oh btw patlal, if you didn't know this. Once those squirels are older, they are going to be EXTREMELY tame and close to you. You might as well be their mother.
I used to have a sugar glider that I hand tamed(I have it's baby now, didn't hand tame this one) and it was the sweetest thing to me. Take good care of them!

isn't it possible that the babies have rabies or something.
also do you happen to live close to that guy who killed a squirrel a few days ago, i bet he killed their mother and now you have to take care of the kids and you live next door to each other and don't even know it

I would think putting them back would be a terrible idea, mainly because your scent would be all over them..yuk.
You're pretty lucky tho, looks fun and happy. You'll either have cool ass fun personal little pets or..like someone else said they'll burrow into your walls and start an electrical fire lol.

The aviary society (or whatever it was that started this rumor, it originated with not.to touch birds or the momma bird wouldn't recognize the baby) was simply so that kids wouldn't pick up birds and accidentally kill them by mishandling them.

Interesting, makes sense. I mean no matter what an animal would catch your scent on their babies but maybe it doesn't matter as much as i thought.

THey are still alive and well. Definitely getting stronger. They could barely drag themselves around 2 days ago, now they can support their own weight hanging upside down for like 20 seconds.

Pretty much. Birds have bad sense of smell too. So they wouldn't notice if you had touched it. If they came back they may yap and eck at you though.

Well guys, ne of them died in my hands...
Her nose started bleeding, I didn't know what to do... She got weaker and weaker until she just died.... My guess is she choked on her blood.
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...

You can only do so much. In nature the general expectation would be that only two of them survive. Otherwise we would be covered in squirrels

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

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

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

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.

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

Awesome find Pat! I found a squirrel earlier this year. Lil dude was trippin in the middle of the road. Ran right up my arm. He was a little older, had his bushy tail. I gave him some bread and unsalted nuts.
He only ended up staying the night. I got him outside and running around then let him go in the woods near some giant oaks next to the river. It was tough, i was pretty attached already. I named him Kenny.
Sounds like you might be making some long term friends. Sounds like fun, man. Those things crawl all over you, is so fucking adorable.

Right now the squirrels are outside in the shade. it's 25ish degrees, perfect day. They eat like crazy and drink water like crazy too.
I got a good feeling about these 2.

I believe that I have successfully conditioned my baby squirrels to eat on command.
Good old Pavlov. The fucker torture hundreds of dogs, but something good came form it.
Everytime I feed the squirrels, I rinse their mouth when they are done and pour warm water on their backs and I cup my hands so it makes them a little bath. They fucking love the warm water. They wiggle their tails the second I turn on the tap.
So What I did is, after every feeding, I give em a bath, dry them off and bring them back to their boxes and they are wiggling their tails in hapiness.
When they don't want to eat, I simply turn on the tap so theye hear it, and suddenly they open their mouths to drink. It's cute.
So that's one problem solved....

Sorry for you loss man.
Nature ran its course. They were destined to die from day one.
They didnt get the priveledge of being eatin by a predator, but atleast now the bugs and scavengers will have a nice meal.

Sucks patlal, but it comes with trying to help abandoned babies. Sometimes they pull through, and other times they don't. It really does suck.
