Good for you for taking care of this little abandoned squirrel. Just try not to get too attached to him/her. There needs to be more people like you in this world.

Get a five gallon pale. Put towel in the bottom. Let him rest with a warm water bottle.

 I gave him a cheerio, and he is eating it so that's a good sign.

He is able to eat solid foods, but it takes him a while. He doesn't seem able to drink water on his own though. I have him a carrot slice that he is working on eating.

My dad cut down a tree that had baby squirrels in it, he brought them over to his girlfriend's and her daughter raised them and released them outside. They built a cage and mounted it on the side of a tree so if they get hungry they could come and eat as they please. After a while they stopped coming back.

Thanks for the advice. I might end up doing that. The rehab center hasn't called back yet. I'm gonna wait a few hours longer, then I'm gonna call one that's farther away.
Since I don't have a heating pad, the squirrel is just laying with me.

Call me a tree hugger, but it enrages me when people kill squirrels. They are too cute

I've hunted squirrels before... But I could never kill innocent babies.
I finally got a hold of a rehaber, but they can't take them due to some medical issues. But they gave me an umber to call so that number can direct me to a rehaber who can take them. I'm gonna call in a bit when they have a volunteer available.
Also, I found it's brothers and sisters. 3 more. Those three are dehydrated, so I have them water. One of them came to me instantly. The other 2 noticed I was giving water to that one and letting it sleep safely, so they both came straight to me. I have a total of 4 squirrels.
I got puppy milk replacement, and in an hour or so I'm gonna feed them all. They're all super sweet babies.

Good luck man! Considering how old they already are, your chances of saving them increase greatly.

Woo hoo! I got a hold of a person who's able to take the squirrels! I still gotta keep them overnight, but tomorrow I'll be able to drop them off.
