Poor little thing. I hope it pulls through. So nice of you to rescue it. Good luck and keep us posted.

Earlier today I thought I was going to lose it. It was laying rather motionless in the box. I ran out and bought some Pedylite [sp?] and put the heating pad back underneath the box. It's doing just fine now, it's moving around (well squirming around) and I just fed it again. however, no matter how I rub, or tickle it, it still wont pee. I got a drop out yesterday but nothing else. What else can I do? Maybe I'm stimulating it wrong? Where exactly do I rub?

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.

I have been checking this thread daily too. How is the little guy doing?
