How to feed a baby squirrel. Nursing a 3 week old baby Fox tree squirrel using a 3 cc syringe filled with warm Pedialyte. This is the first feeding. I’m holding the syringe at a 90 degree angle. I ****** two drops into his mouth so he can taste it. After the third feeding they get the hang of it.

During Hurricane Charley, I went out in the eye to inspect damage and found a nest of three baby squirrels that got blown from the tree and had to care for them until I could get them to a wildlife rehabilitator, which took about a week. All three survived and were released together in December of that year. Thank goodness I keep pedialyte cubes and powdered puppy formula in the freezer for emergencies like this because Wal-Mart is not open when a Cat 4 storm is passing.

I didnt know you could feed them Pedialyte. I asked my vet what to feed my baby squirrel cause I had been feeding it cows milk and they told me no kitten’s formual or cows milk cause they fed that to a couple of babies they had and they died from it. But they said puppy’s formula is better for them mixed with water. I also added a little bit of human baby cereal( the flaky rice kind) to it to give it some texture and its been helping alot because my baby was having probs gaining weight.

A bloated stomach could be gas, constipation or mega colon. I’d give baby gas drops then make him drink a bit of water. Is the squirrel pooping? Is he straining to go poo?

Hi , I just recently found a baby squirrel. He looks to be about a month old. Me and my mom found him all alone on my yard , and he would have been dead due to my cats. It was 11:00 pm and there was no sight of his mother. We have taken him in and were using the pedialyte stuff on him , i looked on the internet , and i’m following your steps from your article. We are calling the Humaine society , but will they take him ?
