while working in the yard (Colorado mountain terrain) my mom and I found a baby grey squirrel. It was digging next to the house and we picked him up so he would not find his home in our's. Then he just curled up in the gloves my mom had on. He just wanted to be safe and warm. After trying to put the squirrel next to a rock with some grass next to it we discovered a grey snake exactly where we were going to put the baby squirrel. So then we put him back next to the house and gave him a slipper I was wearing so he could stay warm. He was still in the slipper before dusk and after a heavy thunder and lightning storm. So it was geting cold and we brought him inside the house and fed him with a dropper some electrolyte solution and some raw pumpkin seeds and banana. Today we don't know what to do. We put him outside and he still is not leaving the slipper. Is there a squirrel rescue you know of here in Colorado? Or do you know what we should do for the little thing? Should we just leave him outside and hope the snake doesn't get him??
It was brought to my attention by Dr. Armstrong that my picture of a Colorado Chipmunk is posted on your website. Please change the photo credit to:

Amazing blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
I'm hoping to start my own website soon but I'm a little lost on everything.
Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I'm totally overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Appreciate it!
