Hey, everyone! New here, this is my first post, and I’m new to having squirrels. I have 3 babies, approximately 47g. They haven’t opened their eyes yet but getting closer every day, and their tiny ears are getting so big and cute. We named them Katie, Chase, and Marshall.
My question is about the formula I bought them. I just want to make sure I’m feeding them the right amount, as the formula package is different than the feeding chart I found on the Squirrel Refuge website. I’m currently feeding them Exotic Nutrition’s Speciality Milk Replacer. The link to it is here: http://exoticnutrition.com/products/...5e27af5a&_ss=r
The instructions read for squirrels feed 1 1/2 - 3 teaspoons per one ounce of body weight daily, divided into 6-8 feedings throughout the day/night.
Since the babies are 47g, that’s 1.66 oz.
Someone help me with this math, please, because it’s not mathing for me when I compare it with the feeding chart. I’d rather do the 2-3 cc every 3 hours like the chart says. Maybe I’m just tired since it’s 3am and I’m up making the formula 😂
