I NEED YOUR HELP TO SAVE THIS BABY.
it has all its fur but its eyes arent opened yet..What can i feed this baby squirrel??
The milk we drink tends to constipate animals. The sell canned milk especially for baby kittens that might be ok! I think pretty much all milk these days is made from cows and I don't think it will hurt your squirrel. Do your research! Look up everything you can on orpahned squirrels and squirrels in general. Do the best you can and if he doesn't pull through remember its not your fault and you had the best of intentions. Contact wildlife management and ask them some questions they may be able to help.What can i feed this baby squirrel??
I hope you change the milk or the little thing is going to die!

give it nuts or dirty water. its only naturality
get some KMR which is kitten formula and ask your Vet what supplements to add to that. If it's eyes aren't opened or they are just barely, you will need to help it go to the bathroom, too.
Each time you feed it, before and after feeding, massage where it goes potty (both places) with a dampened soft cloth to stimulate it to go.
I used just KMR to raise a 2 day old baby raccoon. The best advice you can get is from a local wildlife rehab organization. Call your local city animal control or a local animal shelter to find out where one is in your area if you can't find one in the phone book or online phone listing.
The raccoon I raised did fine.
There is milk replacer for kittens, puppies, orphaned racoons, stuff like that at pet stores. Petsmart has some! My vet also has some.
GOAT MILK . YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY IT AT THE STORE IN THE BABY SECTION. I HOPE YOU HAVE BEEN KEEPING IT WARM AND HYRDATED. IF YOU KNOW OF A VET FOR EXOTIC ANIMALS, OR IF THERE IS AN ENVIROMENTAL CENTER. PLEASE CONTACT THEM AT ONCE FOR ADVICE. THERE ARE VOLUNTEERS THAT TAKE CARE OF WILD ANIMALS. IT IS VITAL THAT YOU DO EVERYTHING CORRECTLY OR THE BABY COULD DIE. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THEM AND COULD GIVE YOU A LOT MORE ADVICE IF YOU NEED IT. GOOD LUCK!

there is a commercial kitten formula available at watmart and pet stores called KMR[kitten milk replacement] or if you can find it, use goats milk, I but it at our local grocery
You need to immediately contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. You can find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.鈥?/a>
These people have the specialized training to care for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals. They also have the state and federal licenses required to keep wild animals until they are healthy enough to be released back into the wild.
I think you have to get cats milk. You should be able to get it at your vets or some pet stores.
I hope things work out. We've had two pet squirrels and it was great.
I really don't know much about animals, but you should read this.

Ok- there's a formula at pet stores- it's KMR but for DOGS not kittens, and that's what you want to use.
For now you can get goats milk in the canned milk (baking)
section of the grocery store.
No cows milk. No kitten milk. The KMR for Dogs will say squirrells in the label somewhere.
