A squirrel just dropped two of her babies out of a tree in our back yard. Should we help them?

They are squeaking and terrified...so little their eyes are not opened yet and mama or daddy squirrel are not doing anything. Should I do something??A squirrel just dropped two of her babies out of a tree in our back yard. Should we help them?
Get a cardboard box lined with an old towel and place them in it (gently) then call a local vet or animal control - there is probably a rescue place near you that will help the babies out.A squirrel just dropped two of her babies out of a tree in our back yard. Should we help them?
help them. Feed them puppy or kitten milk from a kitten bottle and keep the warm. Also call your fish and game department.
If you touch them the mother or father will have nothing more to do with them and they will die anyway...





it is better to stay away from them so the parent can come and get them if they so wish...





otherwise... if you touch them... you will need to take care of them and you'll feel even worse when they die.
Don't touch them because the smell of a human will stay on the babies and the mom will kill them. She is probebly just trying to teach them how to live with out them.
Some Vets will take the babies and feed them with a bottle. You can do the same thing. I have friends who have raised babies and they were very healthy.
YES! go get them then go to petco and get a bottle and milk
I WOULD CALL ANIMAL CONTROL they can help them . and you should find a box use gloves to put them in.
no, the reason i say this is more than likely their sick and they are dieing of something anyway,and it could be contagious to humans, just leave them be, but if you have little children you may want to call someone like your town police to have them come and get them or your local shelter, like I said, never retrieve from another animals nest there's always a reason.
heck no less sqirrel means more food for us DOOM ON SQUIRRELS
