    Default DAily Ca /bit D ratios?

    I can't seem to find a daily value for calcium and D for adult squirrels. I know that when you add phosphorus you have to add more calcium to balance out the ratio. And during the winter months when there is no sun, what vitamin D is needed to process the calcium? I guess just feeding 2 HHB isn't the answer I'm looking for- I want to dig deeper and know more of WHAT values are needed. That is why I'm asking thanks !

    I will keep track of your thread because it's one of my biggest questions. I limit the phosphorus for my Albino (in general no nuts), but she can not be exposed to sunlight because of her eyes.

    I generally provide a little egg yokes, mushrooms, a little cheese, and of course home made HHBs that have an ample supply of almonds - which are rich in Vitamin D.

    I will see what others might suggest.

    This is a little circuitous but it works.

    Go here: http://www.henryspets.com/vita-mins/

    Run your mouse over the Vita-mins label and it will enlarge. The serving size is 1 day's vitamins and minerals for an average squirrel. I believe everything you are looking for is there.
