What to do if you find baby squirrels in Maine

BANGOR DAILY NEWS • July 28, 2021

Rehabbers at the Center for Wildlife in Cape Neddick are expecting a wave of litters from the eastern gray squirrel. The center is also providing tips if you do come across the newborn animals, saying there are easy things you can do to help them. First, reuniting the babies with their mother is always the best outcome. Experts also say you can try to locate a nest. Also be sure not to give them food or water, because they require special formula. “We always tell people to bring injured wildlife to a licensed rehabber,” said Kristen Lamb with the Center for Wildlife.
