Southern Flying Squirrel

These are Southern Flying Squirrels. The one on the log is an adult female. She came in on November 5, 2007 and was found in Avon Lake in the middle of the road. She suffers from neurological damage, most likely because she was hit by a car. We treated the injury, however, I believe she has permanent damage. Two days later two young flying squirrels (picture of young one in wooden house) were brought in from Lakewood. They were found on the ground, severely dehydrated and lethargic. They have since recovered and are living in the same cage with the adult. All three squirrels will be over-wintered and will be evaluated for release in the spring.
