We've been on this job site for 3 weeks now, and a nest of baby squirrels was discovered in the roof last week.
It was moved and the mother took 2 of 3 of them and found a place to raise them.
Yesterday, I walked into the shed to get some water, and found a baby trying to climb up the gas can.
I wanted to get him off of there, but as soon as I put my hand down, he grabbed on and started climbing up my arm.
He'd been abandoned for about a week by the looks of it, and starving, dehydrated and needing comfort.
I gave him water, he nibbled a little on a piece of bread, and all but hunkered down inside my shirt once he found a way in there.
I couldn't work with him in there, so I took a large bucket, put winter mittens in it and placed him inside.
He's so clingy that the refused to let go of me.
Several times he called out, but his mother is gone, since we're not done on the job site yet, she was not going to come back for him.
Sooo,
I took him home. He's in an aquarium with food and water, and I've been feeding him KMR, which he greedily drinks, too quickly for his own good.
I'm going to keep him, wean him and then let him out in my yard.
