Welcome Gloria (alias geeblay627e120). Welcome to this most helpful board. I met my first licensed wildlife rehabilator last weekend. Tuesday last week I found 3 unattended baby squirrels which I fed for about two days (used Ebsilac and Pedialyte). I found the first one laying flat out on the sidewalk. I touched him and felt that his body was warm so I took him home when I saw that the nest had been ripped apart. There was also screeching coming from the branches of the evergreen where the rest of them obviously were. I returned with a box to put them in, clean rags for them to hide in, and a long stick and one of those "grabbers" in case I needed to shake the branch. Successfully found two more and upon returning home, immediately searched for what to feed these little guys. Then I started placing calls to people and I finally got a call back from a woman who has been doing this for 17 years. She rehabs rabbits, raccoons and even moles! She told me everyone has a life that isn't ours to take. I agree with her wholeheartedly and thank God there are folks like you and her who do this for them. I salute you! Diane
Curly still didn't have both eyes open so we guess these to be about 33-35 days old.
