These babies missed both of their mom and dad when they are very small.As a web developing guy who doesn't have any knowledge about biology or rehabilitation, what can I do to save their lives?But I never gave up on them <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/love.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":love:" title="Love    :love:" data-shortname=":love:" /> I looked after them for about 12 weeks and released them to their beautiful world and they lives happy today.Those photos are taken from my own blog. There are many; but...

Otherwise they will die. I had to make their foods every two hours warm (around 100 Fahrenheit) and clean milk. Yes I got up every 2 hours at night. Gave them foods, stimulate with a warm cotton bud and cleaned their private area. After that I washed all the stuffs I used to make milk and slept for an hour.* You have to stimulate them to helping them for pooping and peeing until they open their eyes (about 5 weeks). * They need to stay warm (around 99 Fahrenheit) so you have to prepare a place. A half opened box with a cotton clothe may help.

Keep them warm and stimulate as I told until they reach 5 weeks.They pees too much so I had to buy some serviette paper bundles (One paper per each feeding for a single baby).Baby squirrels caring ( Week 3 )<img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_1875.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_1785.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Formula: 2cc to 2.5cc Anchor Pedia Pro every 3-4 hours.This is a very happiest week I had in my entire life period because they opened their eyes and saw their mom <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />. This is the 3rd week with babies and they are about 5 weeks old now. If they ask more milk, just feed them until they reject. I had to stimulate them for an another week because they didn't pee and they got a bloated tummy.Baby squirrels caring ( Week 4 )<img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_1875.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_1824.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_1897.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Formula: 2cc to 2.5cc Anchor Pedia Pro every 4-5 hours.It will be very hard for you to handle them now <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" /> look at them how active they are now?

You can try to feed them rusk with milk like human baby formula or introduce some fruits like apple, banana or papaw. You'll have to make sure that whether they eats or not. Baby squirrels caring ( Week 6 )<img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_2170.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMG_2159.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />I've quite giving them milk when they reach the 8th week (6 weeks with me, finished two packets of Anchor Pedia Pro). I mostly gave them apple, guava and banana. They like apples, papaw and guava mostly. You'll need about 2 apples for a day (You'll have to look and understand their eating habits).I decided to keep them another 4 weeks and release them to their beautiful world. So I had to introduce them some trees, branches and other stuffs. I went out with them and let them climb small trees and play.After 10th week (12 weeks old babies) I made a home on a guava tree and let them stay there. They liked, played with branches, ate guava, interacted with other squirrels came back to their house at night and slept.They spent about 4 weeks like this and now they are with other squirrels. Coming to see me with other squirrels and having foods we gives.<img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMAGE_184.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMAGE_183.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMAGE_196.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMAGE_204.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/madhushankarox1/IMAGE_203.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />What a story isn't it? I do freelancing and earn $s but... I never ever felt this much because of money I earn. Some local people was laughing at me because I spent lots for these babies for vitamins and all the stuffs but all of my foreign clients helped me to save these babies. My parents, girlfriend and our veterinarian did so much to give them back their lives.And finally, I. Yes! It was a very nice feeling I had in my life. I still feel that Hmmm.
