Here at Philadelphia Metro Wildlife Center, the baby squirrel calls have really started this year. If you find an uninjured baby squirrels, our first goal is reuniting them with their mother. This is particularly true if the whole nest fell down, their tree was cut down, or they were nesting somewhere they absolutely cannot - such as the engine of car (a real call we got this week!) . In these cases, it’s very likely that the mother squirrel is not only around, but very interested in having her babies back. She has more than one nest, just for this purpose! She will not come and retreive her babies if humans are around, so you must leave the area and give her a chance to carry them away to another location, like a mother cat carries kittens. We are ALWAYS happy to advise you in more detail by phone, so please call us with any questions.
