Hello there,
Wondering if anyone has any knowledge/experience with young squirrels. We spotted this young red squirrel this morning. One of two, along with what I assumed at the time was an adult. Both the youngsters were similar - bald bodies. But with fur on heads, tails, and paws.
At the time I thought they were just very young kits. Having looked at photos of young online, it seems that usually they grow fur uniformly, and are covered when much smaller than these ones?
Both youngsters were agile, spritely, and feeding. Didn't seem to be any ill health. Although, if they stay in this bald state I don't rate their chances when winter arrives!
I'm no vet but mange would seem a possibility?

Guys, I wasn't going to post these pictures, after the poor creature died, but it was significant event for us mammal spotters and the people of King's Lynn. Dirty twitcher that I am, I selfishly shot up there after work for the mammal tick. RIP poor young Fin Whale.
Hope you don't mind this. Phil
