This past weekend my brother found a 3 pack of baby squirrels in the
gutters of his home. Since I have experience working at a vet's office
in high school, I was elected to take care of them.

We fed them a few drops of pedialyte re-hydration solution every hour
for the first 12 hours and then switched to Esbilac puppy milk
replacer every 2-3 hours after that. Luckily on Sunday the local
squirrel baby "rehabber" (wildlife rehabilitation expert) came to pick
them up.

She said they looked strong and had a very high chance of being
successfully released back into the wild. :)

I uploaded some pictures of the squirrel babies on this page -

We'll be removing the gutter guards on the home to discourage the
mother from building a new nest there in the future.

Cheers,

Good work. I bet the mother misses them.
