Black Squirrel care vs. Grey Squirrel care

[Squirreleesi]

Hello,
I have a 4 week old baby Black Squirrel whom i got in with his 4 week old Grey Squirrel brother, i was wondering if there are any care/feeding differences between them that i should know about.

Nope. A black squirrel is a grey squirrel...just has black fur.

Do you know that Esbilac with probiotics on the label is what you want to feed? It's available at many pet stores:

They should get 5-7% of body weight (you will need a scale) about every three hours. You will also want to use proper feeding technique. It's very important. 1cc syringe pointed up and head pointed down:

Nope, he is the same as his brother, an eastern grey. We need pics! And so jealous, we never get black squirrels here!

Thank you everybody for replying... As for formula, i typically use Fox Valley 32/40 and add Acidophilus to the formula.

Just watch out for the FV, many people have complained of constipation.
