I guess you could say I "saved" her. She was all alone and really cold in my front yard. She doesn't run well, so she would have been easy pray for a dog, cat or even birds!! She appears to be 8-10 weeks old, her eyes are open and she looks exactly like an adult squirrel but little! She has teeth, because she has been munching on some acorns. She is so sweet! She really likes my husband. He holds her and she curls up in a ball on his chest to get warm. We're feeding her puppy formula through a tiny bottle. We'll probably take her to a wildlife refuge over the weekend. I'll post a photo when my husband gets home, as they are on his cell phone! So cute!!!!!!
Anyone have a squirrel for a pet?
-
I used to knoww a tree-man who had one, he said they were awesome pets.
-
Thats awesome i can't wait to see the picture.
-
My sister has a squirrel, nursed it back to health after she found it injured in her yard (it was a baby too) and his name is Stew. He has an outdoor cage - its big - other squirrels stop by to visit, but he is too dependent to be set loose, so she cares for him. He's a cute little guy!
-
The more my husband talks about this "little girl" the more I think he wants to keep her. I would just feel better if I knew she was in the hands of people that knew her needs. I would love to rehabilitate her and then set her free, but I have no idea how to make sure she knows how to find food and to make a nest, etc.
But she is the cutest thing... Huge eyes! Bushy tail!
-
i cant wait to see :pics; :pics; :pics;
Where does "she" sleep? Why cant you just keep her? and when spring comes, take her and introduce her outside and little by little get her used to her original habitat? :2thumbsup;

Contact me by private mail and I'll give you my sister's email address. She has raised several, including a "Pinkie" (so young it has no hair yet), and done a "soft release" with them all.
-
I would be interested in doing a soft release, but I don't want to harm her by making her not afraid of humans, dogs, etc.
Also, being that she's a rodent, wouldn't it be a bad idea to have her around me in case she bites and such? I'm thinking more so along the lines of after I transplant (God willing). So far she hasn't even attempted to bite, but when she's bigger who knows.
I'm getting ready to post a couple of photos. Please stand by... hee hee
Goofynina,
She slept last night in a box with some old t-shirts for warmth. She loves to bury herself under the shirts. I put a cookie cooling rack on top of the box and then weighed that down. We placed in her in our home office where the computers are running and it's a little warmer in there. Plus the humming of the computers is probably soothing. We didn't hear a peep from her all night. We placed a couple of acorns in the box and this morning she had eaten all of them and did her "business". You're just going to die when you see her!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, we're going to call her "Hammy" like in "Over the Hedge". :)
-
Here's another...
-
Try a few kernels of corn. Everything fed should be warmed but not cooked.
-
:clap; :clap; :clap; I WANT ONE :clap; :clap; :clap;
I am in love with a baby squirrel :bandance; :urcrazy;
-
Yes, we warm everything for about 5 seconds in the microwave (formula, etc.) As in typical baby fashion, she sleeps alot! (thank goodness) We just tried to give her a little warm Pedialite (spelling?), but she's not interested. She just likes the puppy formula and acorns! She doesn't appear to be in any distress. Just got lost I suppose. I watched for a mommy or daddy in the yard, but no one came.
I told you Goofynina! Isn't she just the cutest? :clap;

I can see Sam's reaction to a squirrel! Not going to happen.
-
I don't want to pour cold water on this thread but as far as I understand it grey squirrels are verminous. They are often called rats with bushy tails. I would be very reluctant to even handle one because of the risk of infection.
-
We have two squirrels that we feed and love! One is Sandy (from SpongeBob) and the other Hammy (over the hedge). They tap on the kitchen window if I haven't put food out that day. They don't run away when I am in the kitchen, just sit and watch me, waiting for some goodies to come there way. They aren't pets, but I do love that they "know" me and they make me smile.
-
We have been feeding an entire family of squirrels for 4 of their generations now. They live in a neighbors yard and come through the trees to get the wildlife feed we put out for them and the birds. It is hilarious to see the pregnant ones sprawl out when they eat. They seems to be used to us and we also get the reminders if we haven't put food out yet. It is most important that if you feed them during the warm months that you continue to feed them during winter too because they become dependant on you as a food source. Since they don't hibernate they still require that food to survive.
-
How old is your squirrel?
1 to 5 days - tiny, the size of a woman's thumb - knuckle to tip - and totally pink; no hair at all.
5 to 10 days - development of soft, reddish, sable hair around nose and mouth.
10 days to 2 weeks - a grayish purple shadow begins spreading over the head, shoulders, and back; the belly and legs are still bright pink.
2 to 3 weeks - grayish-purple color deepens until the emerging hair is long enough to be identified as hair.
3 weeks - the baby's lower front teeth begin emerging. Hair is now slick, smooth, and shiny. still no hair on legs and belly.
4 weeks - has light grayish-brownish hair all over, except lower legs and belly and under tail. Some downy white hair beginning on belly and legs.
5 weeks - thicker hair, including legs and belly. Tail hair is short, straight, and lies parallel with the bone. Eyes open.
5 to 6 weeks - upper front teeth begin emerging. Begins curling tail over back.
6 to 7 weeks - fully furred, sleeping less with more active periods.
7 to 8 weeks - tail is fluffy. Should be placed in a cage with plenty of room to play.
8 to 9 weeks - looks like a miniature squirrel. very active and shredding your sweaters, curtains, furniture, and arms with its claws. has lost infant appearance.
9 to 10 weeks - develops more muscular physique.
10 to 12 weeks - about 3/4 full size - release at 12 weeks.

Scalded Milk Formula
1 Cup whole milk (They need the fat)
Vitamin E 200 I.U. -- (3 or 4 drops)
Stupid List (Stupid things
to NOT feed squirrels and why)
A List of NO-NO's
Nothing-- for 24 hours; he died.
Egg yolk -- they all die. This is literally "unborn chicken", not intended for our vegetarian squirrels -- only for carnivores.
KMR (kitten formula) they die in 3-5 days. One lasted 8 days. The extremely high concentration of egg yolk (unborn chicken) will quickly do them in, especially fox squirrel babies whose little systems are much more delicate than the grays.
Esbilac (puppy formula) -- literally thousands of squirrels have died needlessly in the hands of humans because of being fed commercial formulas recommended on those politically-motivated wildlife-group web pages whose members don't want the public to succeed. This particular formula takes longer than KMR for the harmful effects to set in. Has egg yolk (unborn chicken) in it, no magnesium, too many alien chemical additives and preservatives, and the ferrous sulfate blocks calcium, leading to broken bones, rickets, nervousness, convulsions, seizures, and sudden, unexpected death.
All other commercial formulas supposedly intended for baby animals, no matter WHAT the brand name, cause the same unfortunate symptoms since compositions of all those formulas are basically the same.
Ground-up dog food mixed with Pet Milk -- he died ( Instructions for this awful concoction came from a Wildlife Rehabilitation handbook.). Squirrels are vegetarians and cannot tolerate meat. When squirrels are confused with dogs, the next "step up" can be Puppy Weaning Formula, a sure-fire instant killer, because of the extemely high content of meat.
Pizza-- convulsions, seizure. He died.
Enfamil, Similac, etc. (human baby formulas) -- these are all some of the worst things to feed since they are not intended for wildlife -- they all die -- nor are they necessarily good for human infants either. Soy products and formulas all block calcium and should never be fed to infant squirrels.
Green acorns -- he died.
Sunflower seeds --2 quarts of these were the daily diet of the nastiest-tempered squirrel I ever saw.
Tea - for 2 days to a pinkie squirrel. He died.
All Junk Food (For example)
Candy coated chocolate candy
All Chocolate foods
Jelly beans
Chocolate sandwich cookies
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cake
Peppermint Candy
Walnuts (to the exclusion of anything else -- that was all he was ever fed) caused severe muscular weakness in all four limbs. He never sufficiently recovered in his short life span to be released.
Carrots -- caution! Two have died after gorging on these. (What is this gorging business? squirrels should not be allowed to "gorge" on anything!)
Lamb -- squirrels are vegetarians. They do not store leg of lamb for the winter.
Gatorade is awful! Do NOT feed it! It is not intended for wildlife and isn't good for people either because of the alien chemicals and preservatives in it.
Cereal in baby formula blocks calcium. Does Mama squirrel mix cereal with her milk? (The only exception to this "no-no" rule is when rice cereal must be added to the milk formula for a short time to control severe diarrhea which you really should not have unless you've added something sugary to their diet.)
Skimmed or Low-Fat milk. Eating fat does NOT make you fat. Babies need fat to activate their growth hormones. Calcium will not assimilate in the body without fat.
What Improper Nutrition Can Cause in Squirrels: (These symptoms are NEVER seen in squirrels who have been raised on Scalded Milk and have been given Nutballs as a part of their daily diet when they are older and have started eating solid foods.)
Unexplained sudden death.
Rickets -- hobbling gait of back legs, can only move them ¼" hobbles at a time, can hardly climb. (These were raised on Esbilac and did manage to survive, though permanently crippled.)
Crabbiness, hyperactivity, biting, nastiness, attacking -- caused by a lack of calcium or too much phosphorus (an imbalance), too many acorns (contain tannic acid, the stimulant also found in tea) or sunflower seeds, no variety in diet. These symptoms should be a warning flag because the next step is sudden death.
Severe malnutrition, drunken gait (muscles totally uncoordinated and jerky), stunted growth (weight and size of a 10-week-old. yet she's 5 ½ months old), tail fur arrested at the 6-week-old stage -- caused by giving only 4 foods (acorns, rancid pecans, undetermined type of milk. And only 1 or 2 pieces of apple in her whole life).
Broken bones and malocclusions (teeth missing or thrown out of alignment) -- caused by a lack of the total balanced spectrum of calcium, Vitamin D, magnesium, phosphorus, and fat.
Suddenly going down in back legs.
Seizures -- Squirrels do NOT get epilepsy! --(Some of these who have seizured have survived without dying immediately, but I don't know what the long-term effects of this is on the brain). Out of the approximately 2,500 squirrels I have taken in, only a few adult injured come in in this condition because of a head injury, poisoning or having been hit by a car. None of my hand-raised babies has ever had a seizure. Cause: Severe lack of calcium or "phosphorus overload" (both are the same thing.)
THE NUTBALLS ARE CRITICAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF SQUIRRELS WHEN THEY ARE OLDER, HAVE STARTED CUTTING BACK ON THEIR SCALDED MILK AND ARE STARTED EATING SOLID FOODS!
More NO-NO'S.
Squirrels are vegetarians. Do NOT feed dog or cat food because these contain meat.
Do not feed Monkey Biscuit: It contains egg yolk (unborn chicken) and will only keep experimental laboratory animals alive for a short amount of time. Squirrels are NOT monkeys!
Do not feed any egg-containing product to squirrels.
Do not feed any kinds of human cereals such as Cheerios. They all block calcium and are non-nutritive fillers.
Do not feed acorns. Tannic acid in acorns causes hyperactivity in squirrels since it is the same stimulant that is in team, as is caffeine in coffee. Green acorns and old moldy acorns can kill.
Limit sunflower seeds. They are not necessary to a healthy diet and are only considered a snack. They also block calcium, are considered hyper-addictive, and can cause liver disease since they are susceptible to aflatoxin, a sometimes invisible mold deadly to all wildlife.
Peanuts are not food for squirrels; They are a legume and are not a true nut. They also have the potential for deadly aflatoxin. Since they are an incomplete protein (lack 2 essential amino acids), they can cause severe hair loss. Do not feed field corn (dried corn) for the same reasons.
Sunflower seeds, peanuts, and field corn are not natural foods for squirrels. All are grown in fields where squirrels do not live or forage, and should squirrels happen to live in the trees surrounding such fields, farmers would not tolerate their presence any more than they would deer tromping through their crops!
Birdseed is for the birds, not for squirrels. Do not feed it.
Iceberg lettuce is yukky, has no food value. Don't feed this either.
Do not feed jalapeno peppers or root vegetables such as radishes, onions, or garlic, except for an occasional piece of carrot or jicama. Squirrels eat mostly "hanging" fruits and vegetables (those things that grow on vines, shrubs, or trees -- not under ground.)
Do not feed Rodent Blocks because they block calcium. They were developed for short-term use in laboratory rats and are not intended for sole long-term feeding of any animal.
Never feed moldy or bruised fruit, slimy corn (aflatoxin), brown or crummy-looking grapes, or anything that is the least bit degraded in freshness. Taste what you feed before passing it out. I have thrown out many a funny-looking or odd-tasting avocado, mealy apple or tainted pear. etc., rather than risk food-poisoning my squirrels. All food should be the ultimate in freshness.
Poisonous Plants and Woods (This is not Intended to be a comprehensive list. Add to it as you hear of others)
All pecan wood, leaves, bark and shells are poisonous. (The pecan nut meat is the only non -toxic part of the pecan-tree)
Nuts from the sago palm are toxic to squirrels from what my email people tell me. Do not give them. In fact, it's wise not to gather in any "foods" from the yard, even if you feel they are safe and/or see "wild" squirrels eating them. Body chemistries are different and what some can tolerate, others cannot.
All fruit trees except apple wood are poisonous. This includes peach trees and the peach pit, nectarine trees and the pit. Box elder wood (seeds only are fine). Cherry pits are also toxic as are apple seeds.
Avocado pit and skin are all toxic/poisonous. Feed only the avocado "meat" part.
Many shrubs such as Japanese Yew, Cherry Laurel, and Waxed Leaf Ligustrum are toxic.
Oil in cedar wood is toxic. The wood is very splintery and can cause abcesses.
Hamster chews are not for squirrels. Ingested splinters have been known to cause intestinal bleeding in baby squirrels.
No pet shop "toys" are recommended at this time for these little wild ones.
Desirable or Non-toxic woods (For squirrels to chew on)
Apple twigs
Hackberry branches
Oak branches (Remove all leaves, even new spring sprouts which can be toxic.
Sycamore
Maple
Arizona Ash
The Positive, YES-YES List
Safe formulas for baby squirrels:
Scalded Milk Formula (made from full fat, whole, milk)
Pet Milk (canned mixed half and half with water) This is only intended for an emergency or on a temporary basis, not recommended for long-term use because of the alien chemical additives in canned milk.
When baby squirrels begin learning how to eat solid foods, I start them out on pecan halves or quarters. (No one ever strangled or choked on a pecan.) They still need their 4 milk meals a day at this time. It usually takes them about a week of crumbling pecans and making a big mess before they learn how to eat sufficiently to sustain life. Add banana, peeled apple, peeled pear, zucchini, etc., to the diet as they become more able to handle solids and as their taste buds develop.
Hold off on soft or slimy foods, such as grapes, peaches, plums or lettuce until they are much older, to prevent the possibility of strangulation or food's becoming stuck on the roof of their mouths. Broccoli is one of those stronger-tasting foods that they may not care for until they are a little bit older and taste buds have developed more.
Peel all fruits before offering to the very young.
Strive for variety, variety. variety!
Always remember that squirrels are vegetarians.
NUTBALLS/SQUARES ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO SQUIRRELS' HEALTH AND WELL-BEING ONCE THEY'VE STARTED CUTTING BACK ON THEIR SCALDED MILK! THEY ARE WHAT KEEPS THEM ALIVE, HEALTHY, AND UNCRIPPLED, BOTH ON A SHORT-TERM AND A LONG-TERM BASIS!
Nuts: (Protein needs come primarily from nuts and are the most important factor in the diet because of the amino acids supplied for growth and development. Make sure all nuts are fresh. Rancid nuts are toxic.)
Pecans
Walnuts
Hazelnuts (Filberts)
Cashew nuts (salted or unsalted, doesn't matter)
Pine nuts
Macadamia nuts (from the jar, not in the shell)
Almonds ---- Give sparingly because these contain salicylates which are stored in and not easily thrown off by the body.
Chestnuts are fine as long as they're sliced open with a knife, cut in half so inside can be inspected and tasted, if necessary. Withered, yellowed, or moldy chestnuts should never be given. Nor should those that have started to sprout since they can be terribly bitter and leave a horrible aftertaste in the mouth. Their life span is very short -- shells are so porous and air can get in to spoil the pure white nutmeat inside, so do be cautious about feeding these.
Brazil Nuts -- Give rarely because these are too high in phosphorus and make squirrels nervous. Since shells are so hard, it's best to cut them in half and only give the half at once. Whether these have withered or spoiled inside can only be detected by cracking them open. It goes without saying that any rancid or dried up, withered nut should never be given.
Nuts from the sago palm are toxic to squirrels, from what my email people tell me. Do not give them. In fact, it's wise not to gather in any "foods" from the yard, even if you feel they are safe and/or see "wild" squirrels eating them. Body chemistries are different and what some can tolerate, others cannot.
Fruits and Vegetables: (Supply essential vitamin and mineral requirements) Give 4 or 5 daily -- small amounts, no larger than the size of your thumb end including thumbnail, chunks about an inch high and an inch wide.
Leafy green vegetables (more desirable because of their high Vitamin A and C content):
Red-tipped or green-leafed lettuces (Romaine is preferred)
Endive
Spinach (go easy on spinach because it contains nitrates which are carcinogens)
Small tender leaves of:
Beet greens
Swiss Chard
Turnip greens
Kale
Hackberry leaves (if you know what a Hackberry tree is)
Broccoli -- (its cousin, cauliflower, has little food value)
Celery, leaves and ½" very short piece of stalk -- please don't put the whole plant in the cage! Celery has zero nutrition in it so give only sparingly.
Other vegetables:
Squash (Yellow, Zucchini, and Butternut)
Cucumber (Peel rind if waxed)
Tomato
Sweet potato
Green Bell pepper
Okra
Sugar Snap peas
Snow peas
Corn --- A 1" slice cut in 4 pieces. (Give only 1 or 2 of these pieces.) Do NOT put in a whole ear of corn for them to gorge on: Corn sours and molds quickly.
Green beans (1 ½ " sections)
Fruits (all, except where noted, should be a small piece about the size of the end of your thumb including thumbnail)
Avocado
Blueberries (3 or 4)
Blackberries (1)
Strawberries (1/4)
Raspberries (these mold awfully fast so feed only those that are of the ultimate freshness)
Banana (small slice)
Kiwi (supposedly the most "nearly perfect" fruit)
Watermelon (I consider this nutritionally poor because it is mostly water)
Cantaloupe
Grapes (1 - 2 occasionally)
Raisins (same nutritional value as grapes)
Plum
Pineapple
Mulberries
Fig (1/4 to 1/6th)
Dates (1/3rd is a sufficient serving)
Apple -- (seeds in the core are toxic -- do NOT feed)
Peach or Nectarine
Pear
Orange(small piece)
Mango(small piece -- skin is toxic, so peel it off)
Other:
Mushrooms (store-bought only). Do NOT feed white button or Portabello mushrooms because they contain three carcinogens.
Seeds: (All sun-dried by you)
Pumpkin
Squash
Watermelon
Cantaloupe
Cereals:
Please don't give commercial cereals -- they are NOT part of a squirrel's natura1 diet. All of them block calcium,and often contain chemical additives and honey which has the potential for deadly botulism. The daily Nut Ball they get is sufficient in terms of any so-called cereal need.
Return toThe Beginning...
Suggested Daily Schedule for Self-Feeding Squirrels
Rather than allow free-choice feeding (all the food they can eat, whenever they want), I control what I give to avoid finicky eaters.
Breakfast: First thing in the morning I give each squirrel:
Scalded mild formula (as long as they'll take it, either from the syringe or from a small water bottle. Do not leave milk in water bottle longer than 15 minutes.
A few pieces of pecans or walnuts, all they will clean up in about 10 minutes. (Increase amounts as they get older.
1 leaf of something green, such as lettuce, spinach. mustard greens, Hackberry stem with new leaves, etc. -
or one broccoli flowerette with stem
or one or two 1 ½ pieces of green bean
or ½-1 sugar pea (Snow Pea)
or any other type of fruit or vegetable from the preceding list.
Lunch: (Babies under 3 months old get lunch. I quit giving lunch when their supper appetites get poor.)
Few pieces of nuts
Small piece of pear or other fruit or vegetable
Supper:
Scalded Milk (Same as for Breakfast above. This is usually when babies have cut back to 2 milk feedings a day).
Nut Ball (goes in cage first. Then I go away to prepare their other food and in 15-20 minutes when I return, the Nut Ball has been eaten.) NUTBALLS ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO THE HEALTH AND WELL BEING OF SQUIRRELS ONCE THEY'VE STARTED CUTTING BACK ON THEIR SCALDED MILK! THEY NEVER OUTGROW THEIR NEED FOR THEM, NO MATTER HOW OLD THEY ARE!
3 - 4 selections of fruit or vegetables, making sure that none of the vegetables block calcium in the Nut Ball.
Pecans (I go back around a few minutes later with a few pieces of these, enough that they will clean up in about 5-10 minutes.) If you find they are not finishing up on their fruits and vegetables at this evening meal, cut out the nuts to prevent a imbalanced diet.
This is sufficient food for fat, healthy squirrels. They do well on a "controlled" diet such as this, rather than to have food eternally available to them. -- The most common cause of squirrels not eating their daily Nutball is too much food in the cage. All stash should be removed so they'll have nothing to draw on to spoil their suppers. Once a squirrel starts to bury food, he's no longer hungry, so don't put any more food in there.

Good Grief....Boxman

My daughters National Geographic says its not unusual for squirrels to eat bird eggs, there is even a picture. It also says while squirrels are generally vegetarians, they have been know to kill and eat baby finches and sparrows......they do eat meat sometimes. Maybe because they are adult squirrels and can handle it...
-
Who has the worst diet? Squirrels or hemodialysis patients?
-
I'm taking her to the Wildlife Refuge today. They will keep her through the winter months and release her on private property in the Spring. She's just too cute for words! I wouldn't feel right keeping her. :thx;
-
Awww, you are so awesome Kellyt, thank you thank you thank you from me and from that little baby squirrel that you saved. I'd hate to think what could've or would've happend to it had you not rescued it. Thank you again my friend :cuddle;
-
Absolutely, Goofynina. I love animals. We have so many squirrels in our neighborhood. When driving I watch out more for them then children! lol Seriously, there aren't alot of kids in our neighborhood.
Well, we're back and they can't take her until tomorrow. The drop-off place is a local animal hospital and apparently they had an animal with some trauma so they picked-up early. We'll take her back tomorrow.
We got some good video of her today playing on the couch with my husband. She liked to go back behind his head and sit between his neck and couch cushion. She ate some pecan and just had some exercise! I hate to say good-bye!
-
OMG, why am i the one crying over here? :'( (i tell ya, what a big sissy lala i am) ::) I cant imagine saying "goodbye" to that adorable little fella but if ya gotsta ya gotsta, i appreciate you, as i am sure the squirrel appreciates you too Kellyt and hubby. Animal Lovers ROCK!!!!!
-
Mine just get sunflower seeds and peanuts!!
-
Hows it going with the "baby" Kellyt? :popcorn;

I do Prairie dog rescue and I have a close friend who is a licensed rehaber for squirrels. Her email is miraclesquirrelgirl@yahoo.com, I'm sure she can give you very good advice. She has several living in her house she has been unable to release. I have found many animal rescues still may not know the proper way to care for a young squirrel as I have found out many times since PD's hit the market as novelty pets in 2000 and when I first started getting calls for grey squirrels and richardson ground squirrels for rescue. Since the ban in 2003 I get alot of PD's and squirrels are very similar in diet and care. I use "Snuggle Safe" for my PD's to keep them warm (just be sure it's covered) and the occasional squirrel that ends up in my home until I can get them to the rehaber. You can find on at Petsmart or just about any pet store for under $20.00. Or put a heating pad between half of thier cage or box so as they can move off it if they get too warm. I put it on the outside as they will chew the wires/pad. I also use a product from the vets or Oxbow Hay company called "Critical Care" as it's strictly for herbivores and keeps their tummies in line as it's made from timothy hay. Squirrels are easy to get attached to and can be curious as well as mischiveous. But doing a soft release is in thier best interest and health. Keep in mind no matter what they are still a wild animal. I have numerous scars from a few I over trusted abit too early on lol.
-
Thanks so much for the email. I might just contact her!
Obviously, we still have the little one. We purchased a cage and such and she seems to be just as happy as can be. She sleeps most of the day. I have no idea what she does at night. She's quite, though. She likes to hang out on my husbands shoulders and occasionally on top of his head! She is not afraid of our dogs at all. Only one is showing great interest in her, so we're watching him. The Greyhound is oblivious - as usual.
I'll post more photos later in the week. We took a lot when we thought we were taking her away.
