This would be great, but there are ads every 5 minutes and that scares the momma away. This is useless unless you want to sit there and watch the screen to skip the ads.
First step when you find a baby squirrel should always be Do nothing but to try return to mom to begin with-unless obviously injured or found by a cat: then seek vet or rehabber immediately as cat saliva is toxic for squirrels which requires antibiotics and any obvious injuries will require evaluation and treatment by a qualified professional Place baby in plastic container with air flow holes with a fleece (cardboard dehydrates and bedding needs to be anything but terry cloth/towel material to prevent claw catching or breakage or injured digits) and with a sock filled with microwaved dried rice or beans (reheated and well mixed for hotspots every 2 hours) to keep baby warm because mom will not recollect a cold baby then you will need to Play UA-cam video (LIKE THIS ONE) of baby calling mom while keeping an eye out for predators or males that may harm baby Bring in at nightfall and try again at dawn for at least 24-36 hours If the baby is obviously dehydrated already and you have some small animal experience you can get 0.5 mL/cc Oring syringe from any pharmacy (usually by simply asking or explaining situation) and try to give the baby warm (101-110 degree) plain pedialyte but please literally only single drops at a time because getting liquid in it’s lungs will kill it via pneumonia (the most dangerous thing that happens to them after find is incorrect feeding). Also their bathroom functions must be stimulated by rubbing with warm wet surface (like cotton ball) at every feeding-ideally trying before and after each feeding to express any waste that you can. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ANY NUTS OR SEEDS!!! anything but the specific formula it needs can be incredibly harmful (including fatal) Should be feeding fox valley day one 2050 formula to squirrels over four weeks old… And a homemade formula for under 4 weeks… some use fox valley 3240 but many have experienced stomach issues so, like me, do not recommend it Esbalic is a temporary solution and has 34% crude protein (1 and 1/2 times the 20% squirrels need) and is much too low in fat for a healthy squirrel whom is safeguarded against MBD as it grows and then goes through puberty and breeding over the first year of life… and esbilac has been specifically called out twice for causing squirrels problems in three years… Please don’t feed squirrels puppy milk long term: unfortunately because the lack of correct calcium to phosphorus ratio in puppy milk you release them and then they develop terrible health problems months later from the poor diet Captive squirrels require a specific diet to be healthy in the long term Order fox valley day one 2050 for squirrels over four weeks old and mix in a 2 parts water to one part formula solution that you allow to rest for at least 4 hours before feeding and discard 24 hours after making Only reheat portion you need for single feeding and discard any formula that has been heated even if it’s unused Store formula in refrigerator for 24 hours or freeze and thaw as need if prefer large batches (usually ice cube trays best for portioning) Using a Miracle nipple with a 1 or 3 mL o ring syringe is the only widespread acceptable feeding method but baby must be fully hydrated (usually 24 hours via pedialyte) and warm in order to be fed… the only acceptable feeding positions are upright or with squirrels on tummy and holding miracle nipple paw areas if old enough Without experience the baby will be aspirated and die of pneumonia so get training from a wildlife vet or rehabber before ever considering feeding a baby squirrel… your help is fatal no matter how good intentioned it is if you don’t put in the effort to get the help to do it right… While waiting on fox valley make homemade formula 6 tbs goat milk (fresh fully rehydrated) 6 tbs plain flavored Greek probiotic yogurt (full fat) 4tbs heavy cream, 1 egg yolk Formula need to set up for 4-8 hours before using and be discarded daily (if not frozen in individual or daily portions-usually people do this using an ice tray) Begin by getting 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 cc or mL syringe (ideally oring) From any local pharmacy -generally they will get them out if you explain what they’re doing-start with only giving Pedialyte plain flavored for the first 24 hours drop by drop until you get used to feeding…feeding schedule is determined by age and starts at every 2-3 hours and slowly becomes more distant between each feeding as they age If it comes out of their nose then you are aspirating them and they will likely get pneumonia… if That happens to you then you’ll need to seek out antibiotics from vet or rehabber and someone to help teach you feeding techniques Baby should be kept in a plastic container with fleece and a heating pad set to low under half of a tub with air holes (cardboard dehydrates and materials like terry cloth cause claws to and even fingers to break So badly that the squirrel can lose them) and left in that plastic with heat source until fully furred before moving to short cage to begin learning how to climb. Continue formula until squirrel self weans around 20 weeks but offer squirrel or rodent blocks from when squirrel opens eyes until it’s eating at least 2 per day before introducing any vegetables. Do not introduce any fruit until eating 2-3 blocks and 7-10 thumb sized (or one inch) pieces of high calcium vegetables and even then only at 1-2 pieces per day and after around 12-16 weeks old. Nuts are not recommended at all prior to 16-20 weeks and even then should be a rare treat considering nuts are only available annually in the wild and their high phosphorus content is fatal to squirrels if given in excess…

First step when you find a baby squirrel should always be Do nothing but to try return to mom to begin with-unless obviously injured or found by a cat: then seek vet or rehabber immediately as cat saliva is toxic for squirrels which requires antibiotics and any obvious injuries will require evaluation and treatment by a qualified professional
Place baby in plastic container with air flow holes with a fleece (cardboard dehydrates and bedding needs to be anything but terry cloth/towel material to prevent claw catching or breakage or injured digits) and with a sock filled with microwaved dried rice or beans (reheated and well mixed for hotspots every 2 hours) to keep baby warm because mom will not recollect a cold baby then you will need to Play UA-cam video (LIKE THIS ONE) of baby calling mom while keeping an eye out for predators or males that may harm baby
Bring in at nightfall and try again at dawn for at least 24-36 hours
If the baby is obviously dehydrated already and you have some small animal experience you can get 0.5 mL/cc Oring syringe from any pharmacy (usually by simply asking or explaining situation) and try to give the baby warm (101-110 degree) plain pedialyte but please literally only single drops at a time because getting liquid in it’s lungs will kill it via pneumonia (the most dangerous thing that happens to them after find is incorrect feeding).

Should be feeding fox valley day one 2050 formula to squirrels over four weeks old…
And a homemade formula for under 4 weeks… some use fox valley 3240 but many have experienced stomach issues so, like me, do not recommend it
Esbalic is a temporary solution and has 34% crude protein (1 and 1/2 times the 20% squirrels need) and is much too low in fat for a healthy squirrel whom is safeguarded against MBD as it grows and then goes through puberty and breeding over the first year of life… and esbilac has been specifically called out twice for causing squirrels problems in three years…
Please don’t feed squirrels puppy milk long term: unfortunately because the lack of correct calcium to phosphorus ratio in puppy milk you release them and then they develop terrible health problems months later from the poor diet
Captive squirrels require a specific diet to be healthy in the long term
Order fox valley day one 2050 for squirrels over four weeks old and mix in a 2 parts water to one part formula solution that you allow to rest for at least 4 hours before feeding and discard 24 hours after making
Only reheat portion you need for single feeding and discard any formula that has been heated even if it’s unused
Store formula in refrigerator for 24 hours or freeze and thaw as need if prefer large batches (usually ice cube trays best for portioning)
Using a Miracle nipple with a 1 or 3 mL o ring syringe is the only widespread acceptable feeding method but baby must be fully hydrated (usually 24 hours via pedialyte) and warm in order to be fed… the only acceptable feeding positions are upright or with squirrels on tummy and holding miracle nipple paw areas if old enough
Without experience the baby will be aspirated and die of pneumonia so get training from a wildlife vet or rehabber before ever considering feeding a baby squirrel… your help is fatal no matter how good intentioned it is if you don’t put in the effort to get the help to do it right…
While waiting on fox valley make homemade formula
6 tbs goat milk (fresh fully rehydrated)
6 tbs plain flavored Greek probiotic yogurt (full fat)
4tbs heavy cream,
1 egg yolk
Formula need to set up for 4-8 hours before using and be discarded daily (if not frozen in individual or daily portions-usually people do this using an ice tray)
Begin by getting 0.5, 1.0 and 3.0 cc or mL syringe (ideally oring) From any local pharmacy -generally they will get them out if you explain what they’re doing-start with only giving Pedialyte plain flavored for the first 24 hours drop by drop until you get used to feeding…feeding schedule is determined by age and starts at every 2-3 hours and slowly becomes more distant between each feeding as they age
If it comes out of their nose then you are aspirating them and they will likely get pneumonia… if That happens to you then you’ll need to seek out antibiotics from vet or rehabber and someone to help teach you feeding techniques
Baby should be kept in a plastic container with fleece and a heating pad set to low under half of a tub with air holes (cardboard dehydrates and materials like terry cloth cause claws to and even fingers to break So badly that the squirrel can lose them) and left in that plastic with heat source until fully furred before moving to short cage to begin learning how to climb. Continue formula until squirrel self weans around 20 weeks but offer squirrel or rodent blocks from when squirrel opens eyes until it’s eating at least 2 per day before introducing any vegetables.

I don't know what you're thinking it doesn't even sound like squirrel.
