Yes, squirrels can play dead. It is not that common for them to do it but occasionally they will if they get scared or for protection from predators. Sometimes, if they fall from vey high or land to hard on the ground the squirrel goes into shock and passes out in a position that appears like they are playing dead.

Yes, I’ve rescued 3 or 4 from my dog or cat. I picked them up in a paper towel and hid them under some bushes away from the house. Each time, they were gone several hours later so I assume they were able to get away.

Anything normally putting little rocks and ladders in with snakes is nice for them and lights, heated pannels or heated rocks are important so they can bask on them as they naturally would. Bits of tree and twigs are good too for winding around them. If you don't know were to get toys from shops you can easily make your own like using plastic flower pot when they are younger and make a little hole so they can get in or out, leaving the top holes uncovered means they can climb up through them using this as shelter or a toy and bask on that too. email me at ......... For more details! (email address coming soon since i forgot my old one).
