Here is a baby squirrel I’m taking care of. My friend’s son found her in the road (her mother had been hit by a car). I named her Teagan. I’m going to find her a good squirrel rehabilitator in the area. That way she’ll have the best chance at surviving on her own.
Baby squirrel is chewing up a nut. He is learning to chew hard food. He still hasn’t figured out that he should swallow what he chews.He’s spitting it out all over the floor of his cage.
