baby flying squirrels

[chrissy.hpr]

3 baby flying squirrels, Need advice on how to keep them alive and well. And I want to know how old they are, they have fur all over their body but their eyes are closed....maybe 3 weeks old?? I want to know how long til they open their eyes.
Here's the things I already do;
-feed them every about 2 hours for 2 minutes each, i feed them puppy replacement milk....now thats its been about a week since I've had them i feed them half water half milk.
-they are in box with a shirt on top of a heating pad.
-if they're bloated, I rub thier bellies while in warm water.
-stimulate them to urinate and whatnot.
-when they get milk on them I get a baby wipe and clean them.

Am i doing anything wrong?:dono

They should be eating about 5-7% of their body weight at each feeding. The duration is not as important as the amount. If they are 3 weeks old, then every 3 hours feeding is good. I slowed mine to every 4 hours when they were 6 weeks old.

I am no flyer expert by any emans at all, I got my first abbay flyers this year, and all 4 made it, but I listened to muffinsquirrel, who is the master of all things that glid! :D :bowdown

Most people on here use puppy formula (powder) and mix as directed, but I also added a tiny drop of live culture yogurt and 1 part whipping cream to the 1 part power, 2 parts water. The wihiiping cream uis full of fat, which babies really need.

Do you know how to post pictures, so we could see your litttle fuzz butts?? :)
