Really Concerned Please help

[jonmom]

So Fidget is a little over 9 weeks old now and she has started to shy away from her formula. Sometimes she will only take 5cc and after that she will refuse it. Here is where my concern comes in---She will not eat whats good for her.:osnap I am not joking. We have tried 4 different rodent blocks and she hates them all. We have left them in her cage and she will hide them but never go back to eat them. Also she won't eat any vegetables that we have given her. She used to eat carrots but now she won't touch them. We have tried fresh, frozen, and even tried baby food. Here's a list of what all we have given her---- sugar snap peas,carrots,green beans,kale,red and green bell peppers,broccoli, cauliflower,squash,and celery. She will take one bite then shake her head and throw it down.:sanp3 :shakehead I am so worried about her. The only nuts sh has been giving is almonds ( not many) and a few acorns from our trees. Please help I don"t know what else to do.:thinking

I have not tried those yet. We are planning on going to get the ingredients this coming weekend. Money is tight right now so we had to put it off a little longer. Yes she is a grey.

I know it's frustrating as many have gone through this. What I would do is take away all nuts and acorns...if you have acorns in season...freeze them so they will be available when she does start to eat her veggies. I wouldn't even introduce fruit at this time due to her wanting the sweet taste of them over her vegetables and they are only suppose to have a little fruit anyways.
Provide her with the vegetable in high to moderate calcium and after a few days she will eat when she gets hungry enough.

I'm actually messing around with Fallen's diet too trying to get him to eat more of what is on the high in calcium list....he likes the moderate veggies but I want him to be more balanced and he is sticking his nose at me too but he did eat some kale today.

Also the Squirrel Blocks like Sarabi mentioned is important...Fallen refused them at first but I kept it up and that is one of the first things he reaches for and eats.

As for the NOW protein I bought it off ebay as I couldn't find it around here and I found it cheaper on there than any other online store.
