Between March and April squirrels get their babies. If their mother dies and/or they fall from their nests, they need human help.
1. check the area where the squirrel was found to see if there are any other young animals / siblings that need help.
2. keep the foundling warm: young squirrels need an ambient temperature between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius in order not to die of hypothermia. If you use a bed bottle, make sure that you wrap it with a cloth and that the animal can decide for itself how close it wants to stay to the bottle.
3. report the finding to a squirrel station --> follow their instructions.
4. if you don't reach a squirrel station immediately, add electrolyte solution to the foundling with a syringe drop by drop (slowly and only a little at a time!) (from the vet or from the pharmacy). A dehydrated squirrel must not be fed with rearing milk!
