how old to release?

[bobo]

:thinking Hi I have a 10 or 11 week old flying squirrel that we have raised on Esbilac for 6 weeks. He has gotten big. I was wondering what to do, is he too young to let go?

:Welcome bobo, I think you are our first member from Australia, glad to have you. That has always been my dream vacation 2 weeks in Australia :crazy Just wanted to say hi and I will let more experienced members tell you about your flyer. What is his/her name?? do you have any pictures. We love pictures, don't believe I have seen an Australian flyer??

Bobo does he eat on his own? For how long now? When was the last time he had formula? Try to give us some more info

bobo, the good release age is around 14-16 weeks, when they can fully take care of themselves.

I've had computer trouble for the past week+, and am just now back online. Did I miss something? I don't see where it says Bobo is from Australia? It says southern US, I think. Oh, and they don't have flyers in Australia. In fact, they don't have any type of squirrels at all there. They do have Sugar Gliders, and a whole bunch of other interesting animals there, tho.

I am a teacher and rehabber and just did a unit of squirrels today and one of the facts was no squirrels in Australia. I thought maybe my info was wrong!
