nests are a safe haven to keep warm and rear the live young until they are big enough to fend for themselves
Usually they know their young since they are living in the nest until mature. Once they leave their birth nest a parent can tell some times by their smell. And once the young are much older they can sometimes tell by asking their young for their drivers licenses or ask their young what their Mom's maiden name was. Other than that some parents of young squirrels will have their babies tattooed. I hope this helps
The mating season for flying squirrels is between February and March. When the baby squirrels are born, the mother squirrels live with them in nest sites. They nurture and protect them until they leave the nest.
A squirrel's den is called a drey. It is usually made of twigs, leaves, and other materials, and serves as a home where squirrels rest, raise their young, and seek protection from predators and harsh weather conditions.
Like many animal nests (except insect's) a squirrel nest is called a drey.
Flying squirrels typically mate in the late winter or early spring. Mating involves a male chasing a female through the treetops until she is ready to mate. The male will then mount the female from behind for copulation. After mating, the female will give birth to a litter of 2-6 young in a well-hidden nest.

They 'give birth' - the young snakes develop within the female's body.

When baby squirrels are still in the nest it is called an infant or baby. When it is out of the nest but still young, it is called a juvenile. When they are adults we refer them as just adults or just squirrel.
