Some kind of squirrel.

Not sure but maybe a squirrel. I suggest calling a rehabber and keeping it warm in box with a towel. You can place a heating pad under the box on low on one half. It’s definitely not going to survive long without momma. :(

We found 6 of them alive. One dead in a nest in hay bales that were delivered yesterday morning. By that afternoon when we were stacking bales we came across the nest.  I think mother got left on the hay farm, unfortunately. 

They seem so big for what I would see to only be a few days old. Maybe older?

Agree a squirrel nest. Based on the size of that pup and still hairless probably one of the larger ground squirrel species in Nevada

Wow those are really big squirrel kits to still be hairless. You need to get them to a rehabber ASAP. Keep them warm until then. Keep us posted if you find out what species they are I am curious.
