Parachute - Baby Squirrel
Parachute was with us for a week. He died in the loving hands of my beautiful wife ... who was diligently caring for him ... He seemed to be doing well, and then changed suddenly. His head injuries may have been substatial from the fall. We don't know, but we are glad that we could at least keep him comfortable and well fed during his short life. We will miss him and his little squeaks.

on July 21, 2008Ah, yes. Even baby squirrels go pee and poo. I warm and moisten a Q-tip (and check its temperature) then I gently rub his lower tummy and "lower region" to simulate the mother squirrel who would lick at the baby's tummy to help him go pee and poo. The pee is yellow and the little flakes are the poo. And yes, there is an odour to the pee.
