I Found a Baby Squirrel... Now What?
Between the months of March and April, the first wave of baby squirrels emerges into the world. A second wave of babies makes it’s way to join their siblings, typically between July and August. This means that during prime spring and summer months, we become far more likely to find a baby squirrel somewhere it likely shouldn’t be. You may have found them laying on the ground, or squeaking at the base of a tree. If they’re old enough, they may even chase you, or try scurrying up your leg. This doesn’t mean that they’re dangerous; it means that they feel that they’re in danger, and they’re begging for your help.

How to Raise a Baby Squirrel
Rearing a squirrel by hand is no task for the faint of heart. Just like parenting, it’s a labor of love, and greatly rewarding, even if it is challenging and sometimes stressful. No matter the circumstances of how you’ve come into caring for a baby squirrel, there’s lots that you need to take into account if you’re looking to raise and maintain healthy, lively squirrels who will go on to live a happy life, whether in the wild or in your home. Before you choose to foster a squirrel, first check to see if it is legal in your area, (you can check here for information on Canada and the US) and then follow the following steps to safely keep the baby alive and healthy. Squirrels require specialized care, so becoming a squirrel foster should only be undertaken by someone dedicated to their care.

What to Feed Your Squirrels
Please note that this article will contain affiliate links for easier shopping that help support the author. Much like weaning a human baby off of breastmilk or formula, weaning a baby squirrel off of formula and onto solid foods is an exciting but cautious time. After all, a baby moving onto solid foods is a sign of positive growth, meaning they’re going to need good, nutritious foods to support their ongoing growth and development. As they grow older, their need for proper nutrition becomes paramount, especially if they’re going to be kept as pets. A diet of nuts and veggies won’t be enough to keep them healthy, as they’ll ultimately be deficient in protein, calcium, vitamin D, and the crucial B vitamins and other nutrients they need.
