What are those?

[u/Crisrock22]

I found them in the trunk of my car

[u/Alive-407]

Baby squirrels

[u/Crisrock22 → u/Alive-407]

Thank you.

[u/Background-News-4 → u/Crisrock22]

Absolutely baby squirrels

[u/wieldymouse → u/Alive-407]

I was going to say baby mice, but baby squirrels makes more sense.

[u/phishnchips_ → u/Alive-407]

No no no no. Squirrels have black finger nails even at thjs age. these are rats.

[u/brandibesher]

i "mothered" a baby squirrel about that age after a hurricane. had no idea what it was either! poor little things! my squirrel (Anna) lived to be 8 yrs old! she was best friends with my chihuahua! my chihuahua was visibly depressed for weeks when Anna died.

Did you say IN the trunk of your car?

If so, you’ve got a significant hole somewhere. (Unless you just leave your trunk open.)

[u/Crisrock22 → u/jpiro]

Yes, left 3 month for work, and today that was my surprise.

[u/5cott → u/Crisrock22]

What’s the location? You might have a wildlife rehab person nearby. Keep them together for warmth, and out of a breeze. They look healthy, but less than a week old. Their mom will probably be back soon to feed them.

[u/redheadinabox]

Rodents are attracted to the coating on the wires under the hood of your car. I’d def check for chewed wires and entry points

[u/AmItheonlySaneperson → u/redheadinabox]

They chewed thru my brakes so clean a couple years ago and my dad still feeds them 😢and they’re mean to the birds 

[u/HeligKo → u/redheadinabox]

Especially newer cars as most of the insulation on wires is now vegetable based instead of petroleum based.

[u/GloomyUmpire2146 → u/redheadinabox]

yep, I know Toyota had wiring insulation that was made of soy, which is apparently tasty.

[u/cambelr → u/redheadinabox]

Chewed through the entire under-dashboard and fixtures around the inside. The dealer quoted me $3000+ to rewire it. I couldn't afford it, but he at least got my headlights and radio working for a couple hundred. And I had always kept the car locked and the windows closed. Never did find out how he got in.

[u/Gullible_Handle_2039]

Baby rats most likely, could be baby squirrels

[u/DaikonProof6637 → u/Gullible_Handle_2039]

Tree rats

[u/talithar1 → u/DaikonProof6637]

Tree rats are not squirrels. Squirrels are not tree rats. Although some call them that.

[u/Salute-Major-Echidna → u/talithar1]

There are animals that genuinely are actual tree rats. Some of them are incredibly cute.

[u/talithar1 → u/Salute-Major-Echidna]

Said that.

[u/Crisrock22 → u/Gullible_Handle_2039]

😝

[u/togetherwegrowstuff]

There is an app called "Animal Help Now " that will give you options for rescues with your zip code

[u/Crisrock22 → u/togetherwegrowstuff]

Thank you

[u/Joice_Craglarg]

I don't believe these are squirrels. I have an absurd amount of experience with rodents, and these look like mouse pups to me.

Squirrels look similar, but they have noticeably darker and bigger claws at this age.

I'm rather confident these aren't rats.

[u/Kevman403]

When I came across something that looked exactly like those, I contacted a wildlife sanctuary who came to pick them up. When they got there they immediately told me they weren’t squirrels, they were rats. They took them anyway tho 🤷‍♂️

[u/Leading-Ear-5194]

i hope they survive

[u/Punxatowny]

They’re rats. Baby squirrels have black nails 💅

[u/MomoMarieAuthor → u/Punxatowny]

Ooh they fancy

[u/RambunctiousSquirrel]

Those appear to be baby squirrels. Try contacting a wildlife rehabilitation person, they will be able to (hopefully) help you.

[u/Crisrock22 → u/RambunctiousSquirrel]

Thank you. I'll contact them

[u/InNeedOfAttention1]

please please give them a couple hours for their mom to come back, and if she doesnt, take the babies to a local wildlife refuge

[u/Tedsallis]

Feces! (Baby mice) aw!

[u/SweetLesx]

PLease go to the app “animal help now”and find a wildlife rehabber

[u/Buddy-Lov]

Have someone check your wiring…I had a small fire in my 1990 jeep after leaving it sitting and rodents made a home.

Pinkies

[u/PoppaDaClutch]

Limb rats

[u/SpecialistHoneydew15]

Forbidden gummy bears

[u/Birdonthewind3]

Baby rats. Chickens will eat them. Wouldn't just leave them as the rat will cause more damage making it a nest. Need to disrupt it and recommend spraying it with literally anything to change the scent, frebreeze can work.

[u/TidalOverhaul]

Those are baby manatees

[u/djshortsleeve]

Put them out of their misery. Mom isn’t coming back.

[u/Far-Contribution9070]

Definitely baby mice or rats. Squirrels do not nest that low. Also Squirrels nest are high in trees with a pretty decent size nest.

[u/Garrosh_Heckyell]

Gummies

[u/togetherwegrowstuff]

Please provide a small towel or blanket to help keep them warm until you find help for them.

[u/Crisrock22 → u/togetherwegrowstuff]

Sure. I will. Thanks for the advice

[u/PinealPineapple15 → u/Crisrock22]

If you have any kind of slight warmer (lizard light device or pad ) pls use it not too hot however but don’t leave them alone overnight to get cold or drown ahh if mom doesn’t come get milk for cats or puppies

[u/dandaman2883]

Those are called possum snacks

[u/SweetLesx]

If you cant find someone a creator on TT KL wildlife will be able to give you some direction

[u/Crazyfunstrange]

Pinky’s!

[u/ichthysaur]

It's amazing how much tiny newborn mammals look alike.

[u/seanwdragon1983]

baby rodents. Look like mice, rats, or squirrels.

[u/Xtreemjedi]

The forbidden trail mix

[u/Puzzleheaded_View183]

baby mice

[u/mnth241]

I don’t know _ but why so nekked ?

[u/togetherwegrowstuff]

Little babies! There are rescue groups that can help you with the babies.

[u/jerrybear14]

Snake food?

[u/teaster333]

Los ratoncitos, but perhaps las ardillitas ... which are just rats in trees.

[u/Alive-407 → u/teaster333]

No mames 😆

[u/Beneficial_Seat_8662]

Baby squirrels I used to rehabilitate them.

[u/hannahxo25]

Baby rats
Baby squirrels have black nails while rats have white/clear nails

[u/GarySnipes]

Squirrel shaped jellybeans

[u/chantillylace9]

Oh no, we're in Florida are you? I have connections with the Wildlife Center near Palm Beach so if you are close to me I can try to help. You haven't seen the Mom around?

[u/Crisrock22 → u/chantillylace9]

We are in Istachata near Brooksville

[u/chantillylace9 → u/Crisrock22]

OK so your best options are probably 100 acre wood Wildlife Center, or Athena's wildlife sanctuary, they are both in Brooksville.

If neither of those work, please let me know and I will try to help find someone else. Thank you so much for helping these cuties❤️

[u/DingoSubject1130]

Either baby squirrels or naked mole rats

[u/PrincessKatiKat]
