Glad to hear the squirrel is still doing good! I'll keep checking this thread for updates. (And I would also like to see more pictures of the little guy if you get the chance!)

Thanks everyone. I'll try and get some more pictures. It's hard bring the laptop to the garage (it's the warmest part of the house, if youre wondering why he's in there right now) and positioning it so the webcam get a decent pic

I got a hold of a rescue worker. She seems very, very nice and she personally is going to take care of Dayo. I will be getting weekly updates from her on his/her progress. She said that she was impressed with my efforts so far, so that made me pretty happy

Unfortunately, he hasnt pooped yet today and I'm hoping he does later tonight. So far i've only been able to get him to pee once or twice a day. I read that they are supposed to go after every meal so I guess that isnt too good. I stopped feeding the pedialyte as he should be fully hydrated from it.

Thanks for the all of the support. I'm getting pretty sleep deprived from getting up every 2-3 hours, but it's worth it I am relieved that he'll be in good hands.

Oh, and it seems that his eyes&and eye lid are getting more defined. So I guess he is growing a bit.

I second that. Any baby that young is extremely difficult to raise. KUDOS to you for doing such a wonderful job!!! I'll be on the lookout for new pics.

Thanks everyone. He's gone now I donated all the materials and such I bought for it. Heating pad, pedialyte, forumla, etc. She was so nice and she gave me her email so we could keep in contact about Dayo. I'm going to ask if she can take pictures of his progress if she has a camera. She said that she was going to put him a bit of a smaller box because it will be better to contain the heat.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I feel pretty good about this, it took a lot of commitment. One of my friends pointed out to me today that not many peoplle would even bother picking it up, nevermind waking up every 2-3 hours, research squirrels, stimulating it to go to the bathroom etc.He was sure a cutie. I'll keep updating this thread as I get updates myself.

She did sound a bit concerned when I said that he would only pee once or twice a day...typically once. I hope everything is okay.

Thanks again
