The 'almost-lifeless' body of the animal was found in Perth by two young brothers on Saturday.
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.
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. 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.
The volunteers took advice from one of the members of the network who has experience of caring for squirrels. They quickly arranged a warm bed for Stormy, feeding him baby formula through a small syringe then offering him snacks of nuts, apples and broccoli.
