we found a baby squirrel in our back yard and saved it from some cats.?

The body is about 2 and 1/2 inches long not including tail. The eyes are still closed shut. How big are squirrels when they are born and how many do they usually have. How and where do squirrels build their nest. Any information would really help. Thanks.
Oh, yeah, I went to Pet Smart and picked up goat milk and some droppers. So far he's doing fine.

You need to find a wildlife rescue so that the squirrel can be raised by experts and with others of his species so that he doesn't become too tame.

If you google it you should find lots of results.

Please do not give it cat food. Squirrels do not eat meat.

That was a good idea....Also try canned catfood when he's a little older.....the protein in the food is great for things small such as him...We had a small ferrett for a while & gave her some she fattened right up...But we have also had a small squirrel...Not as small as yours, but i would assume that it should still apply..Hope this helps.
