There was a baby flying squirrel in our couch so my friend and myself caught it, we named it Sir Edwin and i looked up what we should and shouldn't feed it, the problem is that there is far too much contradicting so i want to know the straight forward answer of WHAT IS BAD FOR FLYING SQUIRRELS? Also i predict the squirrel is between 6 and 7 weeks because it seems like a mini flying squirrel and it is squinty.



Help me please? =(

fox valley is a great formula and a young flyer needs formula!

:Welcome :wave123
I feed my flyers yogurt, pecan halves, mealworms, raw dry oatmeal, black seed, a large variety of veggies and fruits. I offer them Chicken chips[dog treat]boiled eggs..cooked cleaned chicken bones and HHBs[Henry's Healthy Squirrel Blocks}.
Your flyer should be on formula for another month minimum if he is 5-7 weeks old...
what does squinty mean?
can you post a pic? we have many flyer members and they will be on soon to help you with yours.:Love_Icon
