| URGENT! Anyone have any baby wildlife rescue experience? My fiance brought home a baby orphaned squirrel today. He was driving home from work and saw it sitting on the side of the road. The baby is very skinny and he didn't want to just leave it there so he picked it up and brought it home. He then went to the pet store, bought a hamster cage and some hamster food. I got home from school and looked online to see what it said. It gave a recipe for a formula to try & feed it. It's eyes/ears are open and it's furry. From what we could find online it looks like it's maybe a month and a half old It has mites/fleas. I put a ripped up shirt in the cage for him to sleep in and he's been climbing the cage since I've been home... We tried feeding him soe of the formula in a puppy bottle but he won't suck it... Does ANYONE have any experience with orphaned baby wild animals? I looked online for a wildlife rescue organization that's local but can't seem to find anything. I got home too late to call the SPCA or the vet up here so I figure I'll give them a call tomorrow to see what they say.... Anybody have any suggestions? |
