They are great, but shouldn't be sought after. Now if it's a rescue, that's different. Here are a few steps to assis if you find a baby squirrel.. I always carry in all my vehicles. a packet of sugar and salt, and one of those child medicine droppers...the one that look like little turkey basters.. When you find a critter it will most likely be in shoch..this can KILL the babe.. That's why the mixture of S/S and water.. MIXTURE; half the sugar and a pinch of salt in about 2 oz warm water...Then feed it to the critter with the dropper.. If you have any otrher questions please contact me.. And yeah lil squirrels are Da Bomb!!!
