Bleeding from mouth, advice??

[Jake&Britt]

I have had Chester and Wally for about a month with everything going smoothly. They are about 6 weeks and I'm feeding them about 8 cc's of esbalic every 5 hours or so. I've noticed that the past few feedings Chester has a very very tiny amount of blood showing up in his mouth when he suckles the syringe...just wondering what is causing this or if it's normal when his teeth are coming in. Any thoughts or advice?? I don't think it's major but I'd like to see him 100 %. Thanks

just joined the board,

Its perfectly normal. He is teething. :thumbsup

Ya I figured it was the teething. He'll be fine. I brought them both outside today to hang out for a few minutes and see the world. I was quickly surrounded by 7 adult squirrels all coming within feet of the babies. They wanted to defend them and were almost fearless of me. I never knew adult squirrels grunted so much!! The babies enjoyed it but would still rather snuggle then explore.

Thanks for the response
