Found an orphan baby squirrel outside...?

its about 2 weeks old, pointers?Found an orphan baby squirrel outside...?

They sell formula for abandoned babies, that you can buy at a petstore, or at Walmart.





Don't give it cow's milk, it will kill it. They need to be fed lukewarm milk every 3 hours, and then you wait half an hour and rub its belly and genitals with a warm, moist cotton ball (like his mommy would lick) so he goes potty.





If you don't do that, he will die b/c of the toxic chemicals building up inside his body and he can't potty by himself.
Do some reasearch on how to care for it, and put it in a large cage and make sure its comfy, once it's old enough, set it free.


OR you could call animal control.
awww how adorable get it a cage and research them get it all cozy
call animal control? or keep it as a pet!
