I just got them about an hour or so ago! She had five, but she wasn't sure how to care for them and one got too cold and died :/ But the four I have now are doing great so far.

No, these are my first ones. I've only ever raised squirrels and birds before since I was little. I made sure to do as much research as I could before I went and picked these guys up, but I feel like I could know a lot more, haha. And thank you!

The only problem we're facing now is that it's illegal to raise them without the proper permit. But there's a rehab place here that said they would put me down as a foster for animals they have because I've raised many squirrels and other animals. So hopefully it all works out. If not, I'll be taking them to the rehab place.
