was walking my dog yesterday and saw a baby squirrel laying in the middle of the asphalt path. There are trees over it so I figure he fell out of his nest and I moved him off the trail to a tree. I can back later that evening to check on him and he was gone so I figure mama must have gotten him
Well today I’m walking my dog again and then find him near the tree I set him by yesterday and still alive. I did some reading and found that I should try and find the nest, which I’m pretty sure I did find, and then place him in a box or container as high up in tree as I could the mom should come get him. So I took a small plastic container and made him a little nest in it and used some wire to secure him to the tree right next to what I’m pretty sure is his nest.
I’ll check on him later tonight or tomorrow and see how the little guy is doing. I hope he makes it, I hate to see animals, especially helpless young ones hurt. Not really sure what else I can do at this point....
