Are you sure it's an orphan?


Because you can't take it away from the mother, she will be distraught.


If it IS an orphan, wrap it in a warm blanket, put it in a pet carrier or something, and take it to the nearest vets/RSPCA/etc.


Don't try and take care of it yourself. It needs to go back into the wild.How do i take care of a baby squirrell?
Do some research online. I personally wouldn't do it by myself. There was a baby squirrel huddled in a corner by my front door. It was at around 8pm so sanctuaries weren't open. Went to Petsmart and bought puppy formula. He was fed with a syringe. He needs to be kept warm, so a heating pad is needed. If it is a male, he will definitely get feisty as he gets older. The females will also get feisty when they reach sexual maturity, looking for a mate. I wouldn't recommend keeping the squirrel. However for the time being, you will need to purchase puppy formula and estimate his weight, this way you know how to properly mix the powder.





Keep him warm enough through the night via a heating pad or a heat lamp. The warmth would come from his mother, but unfortunately that's not possible at the moment. Contact a wildlife rescue facility. They won't put the squirrel down. He will be rehabilitated. Fed regularly, kept warm properly, have the proper housing, etc. Look in the telephone book or online for a place that will take him. Taking care of a squirrel is no easy task, and he is still wild. Even with socializing with you, he will still be wild as he grows up and reaches sexual maturity.
I would find the nearest animal shelter and give it to them. Squirrels are not meant to be domesticated and should be re-released to the wild. An animal shelter will rehabilitate it and release it when they deem fit.
