Rescued red squirrel now 'living his best life'

A baby red squirrel who nearly died after being caught in last week's rain has been nursed back to health.

The almost-lifeless body of baby Stormy was found in Perth by two boys, who then called for help from local wildlife volunteers at Missing Pets, Perth and Kinross.

They quickly arranged a warm bed for Stormy - as he's been named by volunteers - feeding him baby formula through a small syringe then offering him snacks of nuts, apples and broccoli.

Stormy is now doing "really well" and it is hoped that in a few weeks he can return to the wild.
