Flying Squirrels




Through a series of events Chris and I are now the proud foster parents of three baby flying squirrels. They are the cutest things ever. I feed them puppy milk every few hours out of a three ml. syringe, and keep them warm by a heating blanket.

This is the first of hopefully many wildlife that will be rehabilitated in our little midtown home.

more specifically,
are they smaller than the average squirrel?

Hi Andrea,
So how are these little guys doing? Do you still have them? If there are anymore pictures, please post! :)

The squirrels have gone to the rehabilitation senter in East Memphis to be trained to re-enter the wild. So sadly there will be no more pictures of the little guy on this site, but maybe there will be some others.
As adults they will not get much bigger than the palm of a womans hand. (tail not included).
