Mother Squirrel Feeding Babies. Basically, the younger the squirrel, the less time it can survive without milk. Assuming that your baby squirrel is warm and not dehydrated, it will need feeding as soon as possible.
You may use the hydrating solution for up to 12 hours if necessary giving the baby the solution every 2 hours.
Case in point, a video of a squirrel risking it all to save her babies from a venomous cobra shows the strength of a mother's love perfectly. The squirrel, however, reacted much too quickly and jumped out of the reach of the bite every time! Mother squirrel and her babies. Baby squirrels are docile enough that there is little danger of them biting you.
