Squirrels require constant, around-the-clock attention when they are young, and are not really up to being ';raised'; by humans. While it's young, you have to feed it about every 20 minutes with formula, or else it can get very sick. The best suggestion I can think of is contacting a wildlife refuge nearby to see if they can pick it up, because unless you have years of experience with handling wildlife, it is nearly impossible to provide the type of care a wild animal such as a squirrel needs. It's not like a hamster or a gerbil or any other domesticated pet.
Contact a nearby wildlife refuge because humans are not fit for taking care of squirrels properly.
Yeah, don't let it at your furniture.


Also, they love birdseeds. Don't spoil it if your going to let it out again though, it might not survive in the wild.


Keep it in a cage or something at night, because I swear they will eat your entire house.


It happened to my barbeque cover. :[
Make sure you have a warm place for the squirrel to sleep, a warm water bottle in a cage is preferable. Make sure the squirrel can't escape the cage or else he could get stuck and die.


Just as a warning, when squirrels are adults they are extremely territorial. Our squirrel Buddy would attack our house guests because he felt that they were intruding in his territory. You will need a large cage with multiple levels. Also know that squirrels are extremely curious and destructive. Don't be surprised if he breaks and destroys many things in your house.


Squirrels are a major commitment, more so than any domestic animal. If you have any doubts on whether you can care for the animal please give it to a wildlife rehabilitation center. Best of luck to you and your squirrel.
