RE: baby squirrel eating banana
Yes, squirrels love fruit, and bananas seem to be a favorite. I've help hand raise quite a few baby squirrels and have helped care for injured adults at a wildlife center. Even if the squirrel doesn't seem to have much of an appetite, they'll almost always eat a piece of banana. They also like grapes and apples, and even some veggies.

For babies, we give them squirrel formula (if we don't have that, Esbilac puppy formula will work) until they can eat solid foods. I don't recommend cow's milk, as it doesn't have quite the same nutrition and can make many squirrels sick. At the wildlife center, we frequently get calls from people saying, "I've been taking care of a baby squirrel the past week. He was doing fine, but he's really sick today all of a sudden!" 9 times out of 10, we find out that the people were feeding the squirrel cow's milk. Sometimes we can get the squirrel healthy again, but sometimes we can't.
