I raised three. Keep a heating pad under his nest box with towels inside he can burrow under. You have to feed them every 2-3 hours and make sure you stimulate their privates so they will do number 1 or 2. Otherwise they poison themselves. Take a cotton ball dipped in warm water and wipe his privates with it to simulate Mom Squirrel doing her thing. He will most likely proceed to mess on your hand. This is a good thing. Also I dusted mine with kitten flea powder and changed nesting towels ever couple of hours until the fleas no longer were visible on the towels. Towels went into the dryer at max heat to kill fleas that clung to them. we fed them baby kitten formula from a bottle and they made little barking noises while gobbling it all up. It was sometimes a challenge to tell them apart.

If he makes it, he will never leave you alone. It will be funny when he stands at the window wanting to come inside.......mine went to an animal reintroduction farm and were released once big enough.
