Are they gluttons for punishment, or what?

Apparently, both Esbilac and Zoologic milk replacers are back-ordered until OCTOBER, according to a number of rehabbers on another board. The delay is coming directly from Pet Ag itself. Neither chris clark (squirrelsandmore.com) nor Jeffers has any available at this time.

And yet, people are frantically trying to score some anywhere they can get it. Hellloooooo? Fox Valley, people! Get a clue....:shakehead :dono

Uh oh, maybe I should increase my stock...:dono

(The Sklar syringes are also backordered for 6 months. I now carry the MUCH BETTER and very hard to find Codan. I asked Jackie what was the best syringe she ever used and she told me....I searched for several months and finally found 'em.)

Oh if those people only new how wonderful Fox Valley is...Makes wonderful, chubby, healthy, happy squirrelys

Why is Esbilac in short supply??
They should be swimming in it by now.
Folks on this board have switched to FV.
For good reason.

IR, did you inform those on that other board of the Esbilac problems?
I had to alert the local rehab center where I worked about the problem, they didn't have a clue why their baby mortality was higher!! Is there any news of this problem in the National Rehab association. The word has to get out for the sake of the squirrels. You have done a great job here:thumbsup

hi wheezer -- this particular group is an invitation-only small Squirrel Rehabbers group. I mostly lurk there, as I have no verbiage left over from all my dithering here on TSB to post much on other boards :D. They are very much aware of what happened with Pet AG. But, I got into trouble last year regarding the Esbilac issue because I touted Fox Valley and, I guess, acted a bit astonished at why ANYONE would still use Pet Ag after their debacle. The owner of the List rapped my virtual knuckles for being too controversial.....:shakehead

[wheezer]

Then you did and do all that you can do:thumbsup :grouphug :)

[Momma Squirrel]

they better watch out whose knuckles they rap, Shep will deal with them :nono don't mess with IR:)

Well you did what you could and said what you feel, nothing wrong with that and they have been warned.

You won't ever get your knuckles rapped here :Love_Icon
