This friendly little guy was lost and confused, so I’m taking care of him for a bit.

Might need bottle fed dunno, id contact a wildlife rehabber near you for advice.
He’s been doing pretty well with peanuts, carrots and strawberries. I think he’s past the bottle phase.
If you are serious about keeping him for any length of time, please please look up proper diet for them. They are on milk much longer than you might think, and they have high calcium requirements (which nuts deplete). They can have seizures if their calcium levels drop too low. I have seen it too many times with people who have baby squirrels.
He is cute now, but when adolescence hits and his brain shifts into adult/wild mode, he can abe dangerous for you. Please reconsider taking him to a rehabber. He deserves a shot at a wild life.
It’s going to imprint on you. You will have a hard time getting it to go back wild.
From what I’ve read, these actually are some of the few animals you can raise and release.
Once they hit about 1 years old, the adult squirrel hormones kick in and they start to go nuts.
You must let them go and they acclimate to life outside after a bit. They will still come by to visit occasionally, but will never be pets.
Do some research though.
Thanks for ruining my streak of repressing the memory of having watched twilight…
I watched alex bale’s twilight theory and I’m pretty happy with that take on it. The facial expressions always felt wrong before that.
Uhhh I think you just kidnapped a squirrel from its parents dude…
It could be an orphan…
Time to start painting landscapes.
I’m so jealous.
Looks like it found you.
