Place the animal in a secure box or pet carrier (if you use a box make sure there are enough air holes) Fleeces are very good insulation and may be used as bedding A hot water bottle, wrapped in a towel or fleece to prevent the squirrel getting burnt, will help keep the animal warm Place the box in a quiet, draught-free room Contact Jan Ferguson 01369 870346 who will collect animal and take further action Alternatively contact either: Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Trust: t. 01505 502415.
