usually no, squirrels prefer saucers normally0

I can't tell if the squirrels are in a food coma from too many pb2 oats or if suffering from the heat.0

If you give a squirrel a bowl of water will it ever grow opposable thumbs and be able to turn on the faucet outside?0

It might take a bath.0

Good point. I wouldn't want to mess with evolution. But dead squirrels at a daycare might also be a bad thing.0 -
I thought squirrels already have great dexterity.0

if a bunch of wild squirrels are lying around acting like they're ill or dying, maybe see if there's an animal rescue centre that works with wild animals. I don't think a saucer of water would make any difference if they're ill or dying. They're wild animals, they know how to find water.0

put some it wont hurt, maybe they are thirsty0

It is just the littlest one of the few squirrels that come around the area and eat food I leave out. The others seemed fine.0 -
He's gonna want a straw to go with it. And if you give him a straw, he'll want one with stripes which will remind him of your trip to the zoo to see the zebras...0

The most amusing thing I ever saw in nature was a full 3 minute dilemma being experienced by a squirrel with a full-sized piece of toast that he could not fathom how to take with him into the tree. He went from tree to tree staring up, then just sat there holding it and looking dejected.0

it's probably sick or injured and also probably dying... there's not much you can do, you could see if it'll take water it might make it feel better, but it's probably going to die unless you know or can find a vet that'll treat wild animals.0 -
Put out some water. The birds are drinking it0

I will keep an eye on him/her. It scampered away after laying on the patio for about 20 minutes.0 -
