Remember it will never be a pet. It will be a furry 2 year old that can and probably will chew and bite shit. It this is acceptable keep it, because of a lack of genetic domestication this will be like a roommate much more than a pet and deserve the respect of being an individual. I have known people who have had martins, raccoons, fox, coyotes as house guests. They've had deer throughout the years they've fed and pet.

That's a bit mean, I remember him trying hard. It sucked to see them go though.
But these baby squirrels are so chill. I had them with me while I was watching a movie, and they just go to a warm spot and cuddle and pass out. It's super cute. The three I got seemed super exhausted and have only been awake for me to give them water and a piece of carrot or a cheerio. Otherwise just dozed off.

Wait a minute. It's the beginning of autumn. Squirrels are born in the spring. I've never seen late summer babies before. What part of the world are you in?

I just Googled it out of curiosity.

Quote:
Squirrels have two litters a year, the first between February and April and the second in August or September. After mating the female drives the males away and raises the two to five young by herself. The babies are born naked and helpless and do not venture out of the nest for seven or eight weeks. They are weaned at ten to twelve weeks. The spring litter is usually driven away by the mother shortly after weaning and as the next breeding cycle begins. The fall litter may stay with the mother in the nest through the winter until well after the winter courtship season.

Sorry for no update, I've been pretty busy since I dropped off the squirrels.
But yeah, I dropped them off with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, who has all the equipment and a few other squirrels. I'm glad that I was able to do it, it was a lot of work since I had to give them pedialyte every 4 hours for a day since they were dehydrated.
None of them died btw. Here's a final pic of the squirrels before I took them to the rehabber.

Thanks guys for being there, and all the advice you gave.

I had one, but then my gf called me about a bunch of baby squirrels alone in her tree(same place I found this one). So I rushed over there, and got one(the other 2 were more wary, and didn't come down at first) and started giving them water and cheerios and carrot slices to munch on.
Then one of them climbed down right to me, and I started giving her water. Then about a minute later, the other one came down and expect water too. I ended up staying there for about na hour and a half while the squirrels slept, then I took them to my house and gave them pedialyte later. The 3 other siblings I found were much skinnier and dehydrated than the one I found the day before.
But they were cute. All they wanted to do was cuddle up to me for warmth and pass out. For like an hour they moved around and played, and then went back to sleep.

Those are more like juvenile squirrels from the looks of it rather than babies.

5 weeks is about the age they start weaning and open their eyes and stuff. They were about 5 weeks old, I'm guessing.
They still require liquid food for like 3 weeks or so,
