A baby squirrel has fallen outside my house and is lying on the ground. It's young; it has fur, but its eyes aren't open yet. What do I do?
Answers:
call a wildlife reserve; they should talk you through it.
if it was me i would pick it up and but it in a comfortable box with out a lid. and wait for someone to come get it.
that's what i did when i found baby birds.
If it's still alive and breathing I'd make a call to your local wildlife rescue. They will come out and take the animal and return it where it was found after it recovers..all at no cost to you.
call animal controll they might help
U can leave it there, come back, check on it, don't take it to the shelter, because the shelter is for pets, the squirrel is a type of an animal that u see in the neighborhood, i see mines sometimes in my backyard, and when my dog hears it, it barks, if you got a dog, make sure it does not see it on the floor.
Animal control time. You shouldn't touch the baby squirrel, no matter what. That squirrel could be carrying a disease that you might not know about. Animal control will know what to do with the squirrel, and unless you want to pick the squirrel up with gloves, I would suggest you to be VERY careful. You have to remember that squirrels aren't really common as pets and are more like to be wild animals. It is very hard to raise baby squirrels from human hands, as they prefer to run freely. If the squirrel seems to stop breathing, honestly, there's nothing you can do. It may be an animal and may look like it needs help, but this is life. All animals get hurt.
