How long does it take for a baby squirrel's eyes to open and how long before it grows up??

• I need some advice on taking care of a baby squirrel.thanks in advance.

• Answer:

  Check out this website: http://www.squirrel-rehab.org/index.html I suggest you contact a wildlife rehabilitator close to you who knows the proper diet and feeding for a squirrel. In most states, it is illegal to care for a wild animal, even if you have every intention of releasing it when it's older. If you feed the incorrect diet, you can actually help contribute in it developing metabolic bone disease which will eventually kill the critter. Please do what is in the best interest of the squirrel and contact someone near you who is trained to handle the baby. www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.htm
