Abandoned baby squirrel - what to do?
Had some rotting trees removed today, and at least one baby squirrel seems to have been abandoned. I've been checking on it for a few hours, mother nowhere to be found, and I can't find any litter mates. Does anyone know of somewhere that raises/rehabilitates animals for release when they're old enough. A quick study on squirrel development has me guessing that this one is around 7-8 weeks old, which leaves it another 4-5 weeks before it would leave it's mother on its own.
Localchef call or text Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary at 9738002420 in the morning and someone will tell you where to bring it - it's peak baby squirrel season

JeffersonRepub Wild Baby Rescue Center in Blairstown - wildbabyrescue.org. I had 2 baby squirrels abandoned in my yard last year and they were very helpful, they let me drop them off, they had several abandoned squirrels at the same time.
JosoAnimal hospital of Morris plains will take it. They will stabilize it and get it to the proper rescue. Thank you for helping the squirrel!

Anthony the Tree Guy I brought the baby over to Antler Ridge Wildlife Sanctuary. Unfortunately, I did find a sibling this morning, and though alive when I found it, just didn't have enough left in it and passed away. The original squirrel should be fine, as it's quite a spry little one.
Hackresident Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he was making a funny, Hackresident?
I know it's hard to tell online sometimes, but I don't know many people who have enjoyed squirrel stew recently. ;-)
Rebecka Good job, Localchef. When I found several baby birds (we had a tornado blow through, it blew the nest right out of the tree, the babies were scattered everywhere), I rounded them up, but all of them didn't make it....
Rebecka reached out and took them, she knew what do do with them and where to take them.
