This time of year, a second wave of baby squirrels are starting to be born and sometimes they can end up on the ground. While it might look like they need help right away, that’s not always the case, mom is often nearby and still caring for them.
Before stepping in, take a moment to check out this guide 👇
✔ Some babies just need help being reunited with mom
✔ Others may truly need intervention
✔ And knowing the difference can save a life
🚫 Please remember: do NOT give food or water, just keep baby warm!
📞 If you’re unsure, call our hotline right away: (518) 964-6740
Every situation is different, and we’re here to help you make the best decision for the animal 💚
Thank you for looking out for wildlife and being part of their second chance 🐾
