Should I feed a baby squirrel I found? Human beings have a soft spot for animals that are young and/or suffering. We hate to see when any kind of baby is hungry and in need of food and help. It is just heart wrenching to us to say the least.

We want to help animals that are in need, but the question because whether you should or not. While it may seem like a wonderful and humane thing to do, you have to ask yourself if feeding a wild animal is really what you want to do. No matter how cute an animal is, like a squirrel, feeding it when it is young may have repercussions you may not be considering.

Let's look at the most important of these reasons. If a squirrel finds a place to get food, then it is likely to return to that spot. That just makes sense. If you feed the baby it is going to believe that your home is the place where it will be able to find food in the future.

If you are a really nice person, who you likely are, you probably would even feed the squirrel something that is really amazing to eat. Something special that may not find normally out in the world. The squirrel is going to see your home as the best restaurant imaginable if you make it so.

This brings the serious dilemma. If you feed that squirrel it may keep coming back and you may never get rid of it. If you don't it will likely get sick and die. This seems like the only option is to take the risk of it coming back. You just can't let this poor critter die.

There actually is one more option you can try. You want to care for the animal, but can't do it at your home. The option would be to capture it and take it to a wildlife rehabilitation center where it can be cared for until it is old enough and strong enough to survive on its own.

The truth is that these people are specially trained to care for orphaned and/or baby animals, including squirrels, and they will know how to make it so that it can survive on its own. They know how to train the squirrel to fend for itself, and to find food and shelter. They then release the animal into the wild so it can continue its life without the need of human beings anymore.
