Okay, I was trying to hold off on a name for it because I know its chances of survival are so slim but I couldn't. It deserves a name, it's a fighter. So the little hairless animal is now named Dayo. I believe it means joy arrives, and that's exactly what happened. I love this thing I'm trying so hard not to get attached but how could you not love something that is tinier than your pinkie finger. Even though it may not make it, for my state of mind I need to know it died with the best possible care. I love this squirrel, and I am going to be so crushed if it passes away however, it’s life.

It pooped again tonight, I think it's doing pretty good.

I've never been more excited over squirrel poop in my life
I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of Dayo next to that tape measure. , Yes, I suppose you might say I adore his story and I'd feel very sad if he didn't survive. Okay, I'm attached to a tiny squirrel no bigger than a pinky finger that I saw on Pet Talk.

This is the first thread I check on in the morning. It's like an on going drama story that I can't get enough of!
You are doing a great job!
I'm sure it's terribly difficult not to get attached but like you said, all of the hard work and care you are giving this little one ..... How can you not!?

I'm sure you've looked at every website... but just thought I'd post one that I found. It has info on all kinds of wild babies.

So, have you contacted local rehab or humane societies yet?
He/she has a lot better chance with them.

Yes, I've left messages with two of them.

It's doing good today, I've been feeding it Pedialyte every two hours. It snuggles with the warmed up water bottle (it's actually warm water in a plastic glove wrapped in a towel haha)...so cute. It makes little squeeking noises, and I got it to pee a *tiny* bit after two of the meals today. I think it's doing good I felt awful, I slept through me alarm clock today and woke up at 8 instead of 6. I freaked out, rushed downstairs but it was thankfully juts fine.

Thanks for all of the support !
