Red squirrel baby nearly died in storm before being rescued in poo bag

A stricken baby red squirrel that nearly died after being caught in the torrential rain over the weekend is now "living his best life" after being rescued in a poo bag.
The "almost-lifeless" body of the animal was found in Perth by two young brothers on Saturday. The pair carefully wrapped him in tissues and a poo bag, before calling for help from local wildlife volunteers.
Katie McCandles, from Missing Pets Perth and Kinross, said Stormy - as he has been named by volunteers - was found in woodlands near the Necessity Brae area of Perth by two brothers, aged just three and seven, who were out for a woodland walk with their mum.
The team reckon Stormy, who is believed to be around eight-weeks-old, had been blown out of a tree during high winds. Katie suspects he had been too weak to get off the ground after being soaked in the torrential rain.
Christine Faulds Quinn, from Missing Pets, collected the squirrel from the family. She told BBC Scotland's The Nine: "I was getting ready for a wedding when I got the phone call to say the baby squirrel had arrived at the centre and he really needed help.
"He was literally in a poo bag and tissue and he was just absolutely drenched, so I just sat with him down my top and cuddled him and dried him off with a towel. We then took him to the house of one of our volunteer's for him to look after him."
The volunteers took advice from one of the members of the network who has experience of caring for squirrels. They quickly arranged a warm bed for Stormy, feeding him baby formula through a small syringe then offering him snacks of nuts, apples and broccoli.
The team will continue to nurse him back to health for another few weeks before it's hoped he can return to the wild.
