Dazed Flying Squirrel... HELP!?

Ok this is the thing my Brother works in the woods which I don't agree with but anyway he came over today and handed me a box with some gloves and was going to leave I was like hold up nooo way what is it this time, he said they cut a tree and the lil Squirrels hit the ground and was stunned and looked hurt, there were 4 of them and so he brought me one to take care of, other than looking a lil dazed it seems ok, but now what? I gave it a bed a water bottle and some bird seed, some mealworms and hamster food. He looks so scared do you think he will live and do you think he will ever tame down after being in the wild? I think it was born last year it's not full grown yet but it's not a baby!Dazed Flying Squirrel... HELP!?
If he does not appear to be injured, just keep him comfy in the box and keep feeding him. If you can, get a large cage that you would use for a hamster or something like that, and be sure it has a wheel so he can exercise.Dazed Flying Squirrel... HELP!?
let the squirrel go for heaven sakes. He is fine and that is good. Let him go.
Ahh I love squirrels, they come in our yard for snacks and chase each other around the trees, they are so cute! Anyway, this site should be of great help to you.

ur brother is so rude, he shouldn't give you a box and just walk away. well, just ask your rude brother for some advice
i think it is scared from never being handled by anything. it is hard to say if it will get tamed or not. a small animal like that will be hard to tame. good luck though. (i think it is sweet of u to be taking care of a stray animal. especialy a flying squirel.)
Your lil' critter should be fine, if its moving about, and has not suffered internal damage by the fall. Best thing to do is to keep fresh water available to it, and also alow it plenty of time to get used to it's surroundings. Keep it in a warm, quiet place, and if its ok by tommarow moring, best thing is to let it go. If its not a baby and can fend for its self it will do just fine. Also try offering it some corn, kernals if you have them. Its likly to like it.
feed him bready milk and handle as little as possible or he/she may go into shock.after a while you will find that they will come to you naturally
