Flying Squirrel help anyone?

Hey, you should really tell us some physical features of it (if its eyes are open how big it is) so we can tell you if its a baby or not. If its still a baby you need to get bottle feeding stuff, they take to a bottle well but it may be difficult for you b/c you will have to feed it usually 2-6 times per day depending on age. (when bottle feeding you have to squeeze it very very VERY slowly or you could put milk in its lungs which would kill it :( ) Flying squiirells can live to be about 15 years in captivity but usally 12. You probably shouldnt wear gloves if you want it to bond to you. If hes old enough to eat solids then feed him unshelled nuts and parrot and rodent seed and supply a water bottle. be sure to give him calcium or he will get a bone deficiancy and eventually die. Ummm heres a nice website that talks about bottle feeding and lots of other food caging etc etc/ Definetely read it if you plan to keep it. If you dont wanna keep the squirrel you should contact wildlife!
