Fidgit the squirrel all grown up

Fidgit is all grown up and such a fat, happy little squirrel. Fidgit now eats avacado, cucumbers, peanuts, pecans, rat chow, sunflower seeds, apples, grapes, walnuts, and much more. She is proving herself to be a bad candidate for release, though. She readily jumps onto the cat's backs and happily jumps onto any person within 5 feet, even chasing them down the hall to run up their leg. She loves to play games, jumping on me, falling into my arms and rolling on her back for a play wrestling match of "Squirrel versus Mom's hand". Fidgit will stay with me and continue to get all the love and care I have poured on her since her first day with me.

how do we raise a baby squirrel at about 4 weeks ?

@maximemf Do a search for "how old is my orphaned baby squirrel." there is some very good info on the suite101 site. You should get a catac brand small nipple that slides onto the end of a syringe, for now, just use the syringe so you can slowly administer the milk as needed. Feed 50% evaporated milk and 50% water for now. He/She won't start eating whole foods until its eyes are opened. Keep the baby warm with a heating pad set to low with a towel between the pad and the baby.
