Baby squirrel?

Today my hubby found an abandoned baby squirrel that can't be more than 2 1/2 to three weeks old. I have been feeding it what was suggested on a web site, and so far so good. He latched on to the eye dropper with no problems or encouragement from me. Has anyone here hand fed a baby squirrel, if so, did you raise it long enough to set it free, did it reach it's stage of independence?Baby squirrel?
What you really need to do is find a local wildlife rehabilitator. They are in most areas. In some states it is illegal for you to do what you are doing. Crazy, I know! If it is doing well, I say keep doing what you are doing. Get it to a point that it can eat solid food, feed it what it would eat in the wild and then let it go. Just be careful and not handle it too much and not treat it too much like a pet. To find a rehabilitator check this site out. Hope everything works out for the best!
