How much Calcium does my Squirrel need a day

[LuckyIsHisName]

OK i have had someone tell me 350mg a day, that's a lot calcium. I give her a lot of food and grind up a calicum pill with vit. D in it and put it all over her food. its a 600mg calcium pill with vit.D in it. I dnt want to over do it and to much is not good also.

Please do not use Calcium with vit D...the human ratio is overloaded with D...:eek:
Use calcium citrate or carbonate WITHOUT anything else.
I think rat RVA is 330mg of Calcium a day.
I feed mushrooms for D, and dairy products, this is why I push 'forever formula', it is too easy and the best insurance for a healthy sq.
I do not wean, and really promote FV always. If I have an independant that wants to wean, I try adding dry FV to yogurt or on avacodo, things that sqs cannot rtesist!
The best D is natural and from the sun.:sunshine
Don't quote me on this...but I think:thinking D is found in dairy, fish, UV and mushrooms...:dono

I have 4 flyers, I feed a well rounded diet of greens, broccoli, vegetables, mushrooms, fruits, nuts 2-3x's a week, and Dannon all-natural vanilla flavored yogurt daily. How much yogurt should I be giving them for ample amount of calcium? They are not over weight. I'm giving them approx. 2 tablespoonfuls daily. Thanks for any advice!
