there's a baby squirrel, they do look alike.

[lute]

it does look like a squirrel or opossum.

[CagneyDog]

Okay, do i keep it warm? It's wrapped in a towel right now. There's no chance that the mnom will come back now right?

[lute]

if he was found on the ground. i imagin the mum pushed him out of the nest or dropped him if he's an oppossum. i would definatly keep him warm. not sure what or how to feed him.

[CagneyDog]

It's definitly not an opossum. Squirrel for sure. It was lying on the side walk, so I'm not sure how it got there. Do squirrels carry their babies?

[IRescue452]

That's got to be a squirrel. You can get milk replacement at petco, but I think its chances of survival at this age are slim to none.

[animal_rescue]

You can use a dropper to feed and the mom might of dropped him, my dad's a landscaper so we're always getting babies brought home from trees. Definitely keep him warm too, if you can heat a small rag and stick it under the towel he's wrapped in, it should do good for now.

what do i feed it?
oh man i hope it doesnt die :9

[animal_rescue]

I'm pretty sure puppy formula is the closest thing you can get, unless they have wildlife formula.

I have more pictures
The more I see pictures of baby mice the more it looks like one.
Everyone who has seen it agrees that it kind of resembles tiny dog
I left a message at a rescue and I'm hoping to hear back. I gave it some kitten forumla too.





Are you positive it's a squirrel?It is a bit smaller than i described, the size of a pinkine without the nail, haha.

Now that I see the tail, it does look too short. A squirrel and a mouse both should have a long skinny tail. It's arms look too big for a mole.

By the time a mouse is the size of a quarter-

His tail doesn't look like a baby mouse. When I was younger my mice would have babies and the babies didn't look like this guy. Good Luck!

[CagneyDog]

Yikes. So it's not a squirrel either 0_o Keep in mind that the tail is tucked under it in that picture. I'll get another one.
A rat? We don't have rats here though. But it kind of looks like a baby rat too?

[IRescue452]

I didn't know his tail was tucked under, so I guess don't rule out squirrel then. Sorry, but rats are everywhere. I've never seen one in WI, but I hear people talk about wild rats around here. Mouse is ruled out at that size I guess. You'll just have to wait and see. I must say he does look like a teeny tiny chihuahua, but they are born with fur. Is there any other distinguishing feature? Does it have teeth? I can't tell in the picture, does it have fur colour starting to show or is it all pink?

Just remember "Finnigan" the Squirrel!!!!! Although I don't recall how young he was when Debbie Canton found him.
