so i'm running into a problem with my baby squirrels. they aren't eating as much as they normally did, and i'm worried that they will be malnourished. they are a little on the thin side, what should i do?

here is a link to a picture of them, please give me advice! :/

It's a little late tonight, but a rehabber will see this thread by morning I'm sure. Your babies don't look too bad; they're in the "leggy" stage right now.

What formula are you feeding? How much and how often? Have you read the ABCs of baby care here on TSB?

Any other symptoms, like clicking? lethargy?

No clicking or anything, but today they are so eager to eat, infact i've seen a little bit of bloating..what should i do and what can this cause and what can i do to avoid it?

Good morning,

Feeding is done by weight. Your babies should eat 5% of there body weight in measured in grams. So a 100 gram baby should take 5cc or mls ( same thing ) each feeding. the recommended formula is Fox Valley check here :)
