If it’s chilly outside or the baby isn’t fully furred, place him in a shoebox with something warm underneath (like a heating pad on a low setting or a hot water bottle). If the baby is uninjured, leave him where he is, leave the area, keep people and pets away and monitor him from a safe distance. If the baby and/or his nest fell from the tree today, give the mother squirrel a chance to reclaim her young and relocate him to a new nest.
There are a few cases where you might need to intervene: Keep their world dark and quiet to lower their stress level and help keep them alive. If they’re injured or orphaned, they’re already in a compromised condition. Because wild animals aren’t accustomed to our voices, they can become very stressed by our noises. Leave the radio off and keep talking to a minimum.

Place the container in a warm, dark, quiet place-away from pets, children and all noise (including the TV and the radio)-until you can transport the animal.Many injured animals are in shock, and force-feeding can kill them. It could be the wrong food and cause him to choke, trigger serious digestive problems or cause aspiration pneumonia. Put on thick gloves and cover the animal with a towel or pillowcase as you scoop him up gently and place him in the container.First, punch holes for air (not while the animal is in the box!) from the inside out and line the box with an old T-shirt or other soft cloth. For most songbirds, use a cardboard box or similar container. Unless you are told otherwise, here’s how you can make an animal more comfortable for transport while you’re waiting for help to arrive. Once you’ve contacted someone who can help, describe the animal and his physical condition as accurately as possible. Never handle an adult animal without first consulting a wildlife professional.
