Squirrel babies hanging on

squirrels - baby 2

The squirrel babies are still with us and doing their best to survive.   They are feeding well (every two hours) and keeping warm.  They have their faces and tummies gently wiped to help stimulate their digestion and mimic the action of their mother licking them.  We’ve never reared squirrels as tiny as this before and it is a miracle that there is such a strong will to live in such a tiny creature.  Keep going little ones – we’re all willing you to win.
