How to feed a baby squirrel. Nursing a 3 week old baby Fox tree squirrel using a 3 cc syringe filled with warm Pedialyte. We hydrate before feeding them puppy milk. I am a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and have written manuals on small mammal rehabilitation. I'm holding the syringe at a 90 degree angle. I squirt two drops into his mouth so he can taste it. After the third feeding they get the hang of it. Animal Advocates, Mary Cummins, http://www.animaladvocates.us

  • would people lease stop telling her she doesn't know what she is doing.

  • @P4brains Thanks. I guess people don't read the info for the video. I take in over 1,000 wild mammals a year with a 95% release rate. I teach Fish & Game accredited classes in wildlife rehabilitation. There are a few different ways to properly feed baby squirrels. Some use syrings, some bottles, some tubes. There are also a few different formulas which one can use. I use Fox Valley formula made for squirrels. Some use other types. There is more than one way to properly feed a squirrel.

  • A few months back a baby Squirrel fell from a tree into a ant pile and my dad tried to save it. It ended up dying but I loved it so much :(

  • You're such a great person, I respect you!

  • THANK YOU!!!

  • is that piss

  • very tiny squirrel. cute.

  • @SlowCOOKERsi You should try to reunite babies with mom. Mom is alive and wants her babies. Put them in a box under where the tree was that you cut down. She will take them one by one to a backup nest. If she doesn't, we give human hydrating fluids then puppy milk. Thanks.

    Yesterday, when cutting down trees, I found 4 squirrels, which still have closed eyes. I would like to help them survive. My questions is about the food. I am from European Union and words Pedialyte & Esbilic does not mean a lot to me. I assume that is a brand name of some animal food, sold in the USA. Can you suggest me what milk to use and what to do before giving it to the squirles

  • The world needs more people like you! Thanks for posting. He's adorable!

  • ohh it can't even open the eyes...it's a baby baby baby squirrel :D...thats so cute
