I have 5 babies from another person who was over run with babies, this little pee wee was one of them. He has top and bottom teeth and im guessing him to be about 6 weeks based on his litter mate. there is just something not right about poor pee wee, He wobbles when he walks, but other then that he just seems off. He eats his FV well and poop and pee wells. Loves to snuggle and cries when its time to eat. I was wondering if he could possible be a downs baby.

I see what you mean. His fur looks sparse and short. Are his eyes alright? The one looks a little cloudy. Not sure what's wrong, but he is a heartbreaker for sure, what an adorable little munchkin...:Love_Icon

his eyes are good, he was not liking the flash at ALL. Him and a few others I got all came to me bald so I chalked that up to malnutrition, they are all growing hair like mad and eating like hogs but poor little peewee cant catch up. I was worried it was "f2t" but not sure things just dont look right. Either way he is a special angel who just loves to be with mommy.

precious little pea!
as for downs - hard to tell... from these angles his little head looks pretty normal to me... downs babies usually have a more rounded head and face, with wider set eyes... maybe, he is just very malnourished and a rant....
sometimes, some of them are developmentally behind, not necessarily downs, though. A lot of them catch up later on...
when he gets older, it will be clearer....

im so glad to hear there is a chance for him to "catch" up and possible live a normal squirrel life. Ill keep pumping the fv to him and get him growing. Ill keep everyone updated on him.
