Not a hamster but...

[Vierville]

Just thought I'd share a photo of a baby squirrel I found last week. I was on a night stop and the tiny squirrel ran into my room. It was around sunset and his parents were nowhere to be seen so I made a nest out of a towel and kept him warm until the next morning.

I googled if squirrels reject their young after human contact and luckily they do not so next morning.at sunrise I took him outside and moved off a short distance. He began calling and within ten minutes an adult squirrel cautiously appeared and took him gently by the scruff of his neck to where I presume their nest was. Great success!
