In the US, most chain pet stores carry it. Most folks here on TSB are using Fox Valley formula. There is also a goat's milk based formula posted here.

I have read on here that esbilac has changed and is not good for the squirrelys now. I ordered that fox valley to have on hand, but you said you needed it asap. tractor supply (here in ga)has goat replacement I used for a couple of days until I could get the real stuff.

You MUST have Walmarts - I believe they are even on the moon. In the US, Walmart carries First Born Puppy Milk Replacer which is a better temp formula than esbilac until you can get some Fox Valley shipped to you.

I use the Fox Valley formula. You can purchase it from the manufacturer at:

www.foxvalleynutrition.com or from www.henryspets.com

I was using the Ebsilac formula for four baby squirrels (2 weeks old) and they did poorly on it. Kept having problems with staying hydrated. After the first one died, I talked to a rehabber who recommended the Fox Valley formula. I called and they shipped it via overnite mail so I would have it the next day. Unfortunately 2 other squirrels died before I got the Fox Valley formula in. But the fourth baby thrived on the formula and is now 4.5 months old.

Good luck. If you can't get either of these products quickly enough, one of our members, Jackie in Tampa, has a recipe for baby squirrels. I have not used it but others have. Use a 1cc syringe for feeding. Here is the recipe:

1 cup goats milk
1/3 cup heavy cream
