I used an eye dropper. Go to a pet store and get replacement puppy milk not cat. Warm a small amount and slowly offer it to the squirrel. Don't force it or it will choke, but after a few drops and a few times doing it, the squirrel should accept it. You have to stimulate it to go to the bathroom also until it learns to do it on it's own. Use a warm, wet cloth and wipe it's bottom a bit until it releases urine and feces. It's no big deal. They need warmth but not too much. Room temperature and a towel to get under should be enough. Holding them, body contact will make for a tamer squirrel. You will be peed on regularly. It comes with the job. I had mine for 8 years and she was a great pet, but they chew on everything. For most people it is probably best to get them grown and release them back to the wild. You will have to provide food for a while outside until they learn the tricks from other squirrels.
As for the actual feeding, hold them in a towel or just your hand, get the tip of the dropper in their mouth and give them a few drops. They soon learn to hold on to the eye dropper and will take the food at a faster rate. Good luck

What do baby squirrels eat?
I found a baby squirrel and I have been taking care of it for about 5 weeks. we found it when it was only 2 weeks old and it was so dehydrated when we found it. but now to is doing great! For the first few weeks (new born- 3 weeks old) you feed the squirrel kitten or puppy formula 7cc every2 hours. Then you feed (him/her) (3-6 weeks old) 7cc every 4 hours. Once the squirrel is about 6 weeks old it will be able to eat small slices of avocado and bits of fruit. Around 8 weeks old it will reject the formula so you will have to feed it water and it will want sunflower seeds, peanuts, dried corn, and many other wild squirrel you can buy at the store for a range of 2-6 dollars at walmart or winn-dixie. my squirrel is doing great and we let it Rome the house it loves it!They eat nuts flies, and dead woods

True possums are marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea, so they do not even occupy the same continent as squirrels. However, opossums, which are unrelated to possums (yet often called 'possums) are opportunistic omnivores which may well eat baby squirrels.
