Texas Gardening: Baby Squirrels....... NOT AGAIN!!!, 1 by jujubetexas

The nest fell about 25 feet and hit the side of the roof. Our roof is very very steep. The babies slid down the side and one caught the very edge of the gutter screen. The second one held on to the first and the third one fell another 15 feet and landed on some leaves on top of the A/C. It was raining really hard so we couldnt leave them out in the rain hoping she would find them.

All three now have their eyes open. We had to help them go to the bathroom the first two days by wiping them with a warm damp towel but two of them started going on their own today. This is normally something the mother has to do until they open their eyes.

I have a reptile heating pad under half of the box so they can choose the cooler or warmer side.
