I don't think I've ever seen a baby squirrel. You'll have to train it to tap on the window for peanuts. We had one that used to do that if we were late putting out food. We had a massive oak tree at the bottom of the garden, and I used to sweep up mounds of acorns, so it never needed to go hungry, but it preferred peanuts. I read that summer is when they can starve. They hibernate if it gets too cold then wake up but no acorns til Autumn.
When we moved I told the new owners what it did, and left a couple of pound of peanuts to get them started...I hate moving and leaving the animals I've fed behind.
