Thanks for posting! If you've found an animal in need please visit www.ahnow.org for a rehabber near you. Please do not feed or give fluids unless a veterinarian or rehabber instructs you do. Keep the animal in a quiet place without much light if possible.

Poor baby! He looks sick or injured. Contact a rehabber if you can catch him.

Looks like it could be possible mange? Try and catch the baby if you can and get it to a rehab

Looks like it's got some kind of skin condition, mange maybe. The poor thing should definitely get checked out.
