Baby Squirrels
On April 1st a Good Samaritan brought three baby squirrels in to the Pet and Wildlife Fund. The squirrels, estimated to be six weeks old, were found by Lake Merrit cold and without a mother. The trio was so young that their eyes weren’t even open yet. Shemira and Dr Lynn began warming the three babies and trying to hydrate them in preparation for their move to Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue Center. In the end only one of the three made it to YUWR, but at least one of these orphaned babies was able to be saved.
And this one grew beautifully in a group with 5 other orphaned babies the same age. They were released back into the wild on June 4th, and have been seen doing very well daily since!
