Question about 7-8 week old

[jonmom]

Hey everyone! Fidget is doing great and she is so happy now that she has a larger cage.:wahoo She loves to run circles around it. I have a couple of questions though---My husband has been carrying her to work with him so he can feed her every 4 hrs. Well now since she is in the larger cage I don't like the idea of putting her in something smaller but we can't take off work to go homw to feed her. So what do we do? She can't go all day without eating. My husband normally leaves for work between 8 and 9 and gets home at about 4 or 4:30. Also I have given her carrots, grapes (she doesn't like them):dono , and bananas. What else should she be eating and how often should I give it to her? :thankyou

You have to do what you have to do:) She may be on less feedings soon as she begins to eat and drink water.
Here is a quick list of foods. I would give her a few things several times a day.Here is another link for more info:http://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11323&highlight=squirrel+blocks
Below is a list of some acceptable foods for squirrels. As with everything be sure to introduce new foods
gradually and give them a varied diet. Some squirrels can get bloody diarrhea if they eat an entire walnut for the
first time while others can get green soft stool from eating too much avocado. I always try to make sure that
there is a little food left over so I know that they're all eating enough. Use nuts and seeds as treats only or they
will get fat.
Fruits and veggies: grapes, cherries, apple, melon, tomato, avocado, butternut squash, orange, broccoli, endive,
turnip greens, cucumber, okra, green bell pepper, raw corn on the cob, pear, green bean, sugar pea, sweet
potato, spinach, mustard greens, carrot, carrot tops, raw soy bean, plum, banana, kiwi, mango, strawberry,
strawberry tops, buck eye, blueberry, blackberry, raisin, pineapple, fig, date, peach, nectarine, apricot to name a
few. Nuts and seeds: pine nuts, acorns, pine cones, sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts; sun
dried watermelon, cantaloupe, squash and pumpkin seeds. They also like fresh rosemary, fresh lavender and
rose petal clippings.
