i found a dead squirrel under the back porch. what should i do with it?

Answer 1

Ummm....throw it away??

Answer 2

If you are really sure that its dead, what you should do is that you put a dirty cloth on the floor. Take a stick or something to move the squirrel on the cloth. NEVER TOUCH A DEAD ANIMAL WITH YOUR HANDS, because the body is already decomposing and disease is poisonous if in contact with human skin. When the squirrel is on the cloth take 4 old clip, maybe the clip to hang clothes with, and pinch it on the edge of the cloth. Bring the 4 pinch together to make it like a pouch, and bury it. Its better if you bury the squirrel because it feeds the soil. So if you do that, the squirrel will feel happy that its helping the soil for other animals.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

You need to get it out or it will start to stink in a few days.

Get some rubber gloves and a trash bag to put the squirrel in. Then put it in a trash bin or a dumpster somewhere.

If you like, you could bury it. Just make sure it is somewhere you are allowed to dig and away from any houses.

Answer 4

Since squirrels can carry rabies and things, we just call animal control to come out and dispose of any wild critters found dead around here.

Answer 5

shovel it up or use a rake and push it into a bag.; then throw it in the trash or bury it. I saw two dead squirrels before. i dont think u would want to touch it becasue it might have a sickness.

Answer 6

I would get a shovel, scoop it up put it a plastic bag NOT TOUCHING rabies. Might consider calling a vet or city and having it tested if you or a close neighbor has an animal.
If not put in a trash can or call the city that you have a dead animal to pick up. Many cities require that they pick them up

Answer 7

If your serious... call animal control and have them pick it up. There could be something wrong with it and they might need to know about it. It could have had rabies or something and if it bit a local animal or one of your animals that would be a bad scary situation. Remember... when humans get bit by rabid animals they die just like a rabid animal if they dont get treatment in time.

Answer 8

Have a big ceremony 4 it and bury it somewhere in the woods. - No, I don't know, never seen a dead squirrel in my life!!!

Answer 9
