my three 10 week old babies have weaned themselves off the "bottle" this week. Is is normal that they stop so soon, just the 25th they were drinking down 22+ 3 times a day, 26th 25+ twice, 27th 27+ twice, 28th two licked one had 6ml, 29th only one had about 10ml and it was a different one than the 26th. They are eating califlower, dandilions ,spinach,bark,buds,zupreem diet, strawberries a little mushroom( just thought i'd try) clovers,squash, striped sunflower seeds(not too much) pecans, peanuts, brocolli stem cores
Also I have been taking them outside for field trips(a couple hours at a time) and let them forage around and they have been coming back down to me every time and acting like they want something, Iv'e offered milk and they usually don't want it, maybe a couple of licks or two but thats it and then they go back in they cage and into their box. But tonight rocky, and parttime came back down the tree into their cage and box but the smallest female "smalls" didn't. Where do you think she is? there is a unused squirrel nest at the top of the tree that they play in, would she stay up there by herself? We do have other squirrels also but I don't no if they have fully met yet.
