Flying Squirrel

Recommended Posts

In slightly random news, Aaron and I found a baby flying squirrel tonight that was just hanging outside our apartment building. At first we were a bit confused because we thought they were warm weather animals, but it turns out there are Northern Flying Squirrels that live across the northern US.

We promptly headed out to get a syringe, milk substitute, bedding, etc. so we can start rehabbing the poor little guy (at least we think we sexed him correctly as a male...) We are planning to release him when he gets a bit older, although we might keep him through his first winter just to give him a better chance. We estimate he's about 7 weeks old.

It might be touch and go for the next few days because he's probably dehydrated, but hopefully he'll pull through.
