When giving Pedialyte to squirrels can anyone tell me if the Pedialyte solution is to be Made up at the Dilution rate that is quoted on the pack ? And also what about Gatorade does that have to be diluted?? ....You see i normally use a Re-hydration mix specially for small animals from the Vets but have run out so having to use the ubove instead. :thinking

Gatorade should be your last choice. It is full of chemicals, sugars and dyes. I would dilute it to 1/2 strength. Pedilyte is the better choice. I would mix it per the instructions on the box. Remember - these are for short term use only. I would not use either more than 72 hours, 48 hours is better. :)
