How to Take Care Of a Orphan Baby Squirrel-Pet Central-Hot News About Birds & Animals
If you find a baby squirrel with no mother around to take care of it, you should first stay away but stay close enough to watch the baby squirrel for awhile to see if the mother returns unless the baby squirrel appears to be injured or ill from heat, cold, hunger, or dehydration If no mother comes to care for it this usually means that something bad has happened to the mother squirrel. She may have been caught in a trap, ran over by a car, or been the victim of some other catastrophe. In the event that the mother does not return you should call animal control, your local forest ranger, or a small animal rescue sanctuary to get help. If that option is unavailable for whatever reason and you decide to take the baby squirrel home, be sure to wear gloves or some type of thick protection when picking up the squirrel to prevent getting bitten by it. Keep in mind the squirrel most likely has never been handled by a human before and may bite you. If there are no other options available or if you find that you may have to take care of the baby squirrel or squirrels if you find more than one, the following video demonstrates the basic things and helpful tips you need to know about how to take care of a baby squirrel.
