You really need to do the honorable thing and call your county extension service or a wild life refuge. I had the cutest little baby bunny once that I had found. Buster ate well for me but my native American Indian told me that he deserves freedom. That if I continued to care for it then it would loose it's fear of natural predators and not be able to live on its own. She also talked to me about her belief in animal spirits and made me feel so guilty. I kept it a few more days and then gave it to a wild life refuge that the county extension service directed me to. They waited till Buster was big enough to release and called me so I could come watch. It was so sweet cause they released it near a bunny clutch. It took him a while to find his way to them but I sat and watched a while, before I knew it I could not tell which one he was. It was great!

If it is a baby squirrel you may need to feed it slightly warmed milk until it is old enough to eat nuts or acorns.

They love unsalted peanuts, bread. Just be careful, wild squirrels have lots of germs. Don't let it bite you!
