Lol, Chloe looks like she's really having fun...so cute. The babies we had that fell out of the tree didn't even have their eyes open yet...looked like little newborn puppies. Two boys and a girl. I had never seen any fall out of the tree before. I wondered if the mom kicked them out because we had a terrible drought last summer. Not sure though because the squirrels can always get water out of the bird baths.

I think Puppy formula is supposed to be better for them. We had to feed them with a syringe for quite some time.

Yes, when in doubt with wildlings use puppy formula and don't try to use human baby formula, the iron in it is too high a concentration for tiny critter. With these 3 I raised 6 baby squirrels and released 5! That one lived for about 14 years. :laugh:
