What do flying squirrels eat besides pecans and other nuts?
You did a great thing saving this animal from the cat, but it is illegal for you to have it. You need to contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. You can find one here: http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.… Licensed wildlife rehabilitators have the specialized training to care for sick, injured and orphaned wild animals, and they have the required state and federal licenses that allow them to keep the wild animals until they are healthy enough to be released. If the cat broke the skin on the flying squirrel, he needs to be seen by a professiona, as he may need antibiotics. Do not take the animal to a vet – vets are for pets, and most vets do not have the expertise to care for wild animals; nor do most vets have the proper licenses that would allow them to keep a recuperating wild animal.
