I have found a baby squirrel!

Do any of the following apply?

  • it has been in a dog or cats mouth
  • It is bleeding or appears to have a broken bone
  • it is covered in fly eggs
  • it is cold, wet, or crying loudly

Try to find the nest, if you’re not sure of the tree, or if the nest was destroyed, choose the tree closest to where you found the baby. Place the squirrel in an open box with a towel and observe the box for 24 hours.

Has the mother come back to care for her baby?
