Oh no! In my experience, squirrels are very difficult to rehab at this age as they have very specific nutritional requirements and are prone to bloat and other intestinal issues. You really need to get Harvy to a qualified wildlife rehab facility right away if he is to have any chance at survival. Good luck!
