Baby squirrels are born in the spring, without fur. They're blind, and weigh in at one or two ounces each. There are usually four in a litter. The mother will keep the young in the nest and nurse them until they're ready to venture out of the nest, on their own. This is usually in eight to ten weeks. You may see a mother squirrel move her babies, she will carry them by mouth, one at a time
