WTF do you do with baby squirrels - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

So these little dudes fell out of their nest and no matter how many times I stuff them back up in their hole they lose the battle with gravity and end up on the ground in front my door. What do I do with these guys? Anyone know any crazy squirrel ladies?

sleepersatty99 · 04-05-2010, 06:27 PM

you could release them into a park

c0nfl1kt · 04-05-2010, 06:29 PM

I've just chilled with some until they grow older then they usually see other squirrels and chase them and they're gone.

SpEcRv9 · 04-05-2010, 06:35 PM

It thinks you're its mother now.....you must raise it as your own..

Scapegoat · 04-05-2010, 06:36 PM

turn them into awesome pets. just be friendly and feed them and show them you're no harm. i've always wanted wild squirrels as pets

the video description was right up your alley so i had to post it

minus the whole thinking he's a cat thing lol...

that's one hyperactive animal to keep as a pet.

sleepersatty99 · 04-05-2010, 06:40 PM

i have a family of them in my front lawn tree and my wife feeds them everyday. We see them go from babies to having babies of there own.

Its cool but when they see me they run up the trees and throw stuff on my head. lol

Bane · 04-05-2010, 06:43 PM

well then I guess I'll let nature take it's course

would be cool if I could train them to sniff out drugs instead of nuts, having a pair of attack squirrels in my cruiser would be the hotness

Subie_sleeper · 04-05-2010, 06:43 PM

If they're not eating you can take them to a wildlife shelter.
I took one to a place called ARK a few years ago, but I'm not sure if they're still there.
They CAN be somewhat tamed if you can handle them now without them biting.
The guy I saved had the most horrible high pitched cry (he wanted his mom)
The ARK folks sent me a pic of him the day they relesed him. It was a good day.
Good luck!

Just about every year a Bird falls from its nest (before it can fly) and I become responsible for raising them. I say get a small cage (to protect them from cats and sh**) and feed them till they get a bit bigger.

I don't think I ever seen a baby squirrel! Cute stuff!

sleepersatty99 · 04-05-2010, 06:47 PM

they do make good jerky/ food too.
hey i had some years ago not from here in Pa thats for sure. It was in Vancover

mcperson2k · 04-05-2010, 06:49 PM

Chances are they will die. 99% of the time, when they aren't staying in their nest, its because the mother is kicking them out, because there is something wrong with them. I had 2 little squirrels once. We were actually at the nature preserve place when we found them, and the people who work there told us we could keep them if we wanted because they were probably sick and wouldn't last long. We fed them formula that they recommended.. They only lived for a month, but they were so cute. They climb all over you and will go into your pockets if they aren't tight.

doug · 04-05-2010, 06:50 PM

don't these things carry rabies?

DPancoast · 04-05-2010, 06:55 PM

^ that

but in any case... make them bionic

Kerplunk105 · 04-05-2010, 08:44 PM

phate1229 · 04-05-2010, 09:10 PM

I'm voting for attack squirrel

"Do you consent to a search of your car, sir?"

"No problem officer, who is going to be doing the searching? Aren't you the only one here?"

"Not really."
