How do parent squirrels indentify their young?

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
