Super that you were able to raise them!
I had a wonderful squirrel raising experience in college. It is a highlight of my college years, weird as that is. We found the little tyke under a tree – tiny, hairless, eyes shut. We were able to get to a pet store for some sort of formula and bottles/nipples. I had to pull an all-nighter anyway so I took the first overnight shift. My childhood was full of “saved” animals that inevitably died so I was resigned – but every half hour or so I would put a drop of the formula on the baby’s (tightly closed) mouth. I knew better than to forcefeed – some of those deaths in my childhood were undoubtedly attributable to “killing with kindness”… 
But this little guy just lay there with the drop on his face until I or the bedding wiped it away.
Until… UNTIL… at 2:30 AM I put the drop on his lips and he smacked them, got the formula inside, and swallowed. And again! And again! By the time my friends woke up at 7 AM or so, he was holding the bottle in his front paws while he drank from it. Hard to describe what a thrill that was!
It was good timing with summer break – one of my friends, whose father was a wildlife biologist, took her and the squirrel home from school and as far as we knew the release was successful.
Be Proud ! You did a super job with the squirrels !

Wonderful! Thank you for caring for them!
Put your rat poison in a Tom Cat container, no squirrels, dogs or cats can get into those.
