We are picking up our baby flying squirrel today. We've been waiting a while for her. We have lots of fruits and nuts on hand cause we eat alot of those ourselves in this house. I know that almonds are a no-no. What about pistachios? I also plan on feeding her Esbilac puppy milk while she's still on the syringe. I'm a full time student so I will get to take her to class with me in her bonding pouch. I can't believe the day is finally here!! If I can figure out how to post pics I will when we get home this evening. I have been reading squirrel pages non stop since we learned we were finally getting one and I've picked up some useful info. But I want all the info I can get. What are the best fruits for her? nuts? is gerbil mix what she will eat when she's older? Are there better options than what I've already read? Of course I'm sure the breeder will give info too when we go to pick her up. Were driving about 2 hours to south texas to get her. We will be home around 4:30 Central time. We plan on getting a female, is there one gender that makes a better pet than another? The breeder says no. I would eventually like to have a female and a male. Looking at all these pics of babies, I'm getting pretty clucky!
