hi everybody.
I am the proud foster mom of four baby fox squirrels. i am not a complete novice when it comes to raising animal babies as i have been successfully raising kittens, puppies, and rabbits for years but raising the squirrels is a little different and i need advice.
i have had the babies about two weeks and they opened their eyes at the end of the first week if i've read right that puts them about 6 or7 weeks i think. they are still sleeping most of the time only awake for about 30 min around feeding times is that normal? also when should i introduce solid foods and what should i start with? They appear to be doing very well bright eyed when awake and plump. any and all advice would be welcome they're adorable and didn't ask to have their tree cut down so i want to take the best care of them that i can
