A stricken baby red squirrel that nearly died after being caught in the torrential rain over the weekend is now "living his best life" after being rescued in a poo bag.The "almost-lifeless" body of the animal was found in Perth by two young brothers on Saturday.
The pair carefully wrapped him in tissues and a poo bag, before calling for help from local wildlife volunteers.Katie McCandles, from Missing Pets Perth and Kinross, said Stormy - as he has been named by volunteers - was found in woodlands near the Necessity Brae area of Perth by two brothers, aged just three and seven, who were out for a woodland walk with their mum.The team reckon Stormy, who is believed to be around eight-weeks-old, had been blown out of a tree during high winds.
Katie suspects he had been too weak to get off the ground after being soaked in the torrential rain.Christine Faulds Quinn, from Missing Pets, collected the squirrel from the family.
She told BBC Scotland's The Nine: "I was getting ready for a wedding when I got the phone call to say the baby squirrel had arrived at the centre and he really needed help."He was literally in a poo bag and tissue and he was just absolutely drenched, so I just sat with him down my top and cuddled him and dried him off with a towel.
