Hi,
We have a 14-15 week old gray squirrel that we have been rehabilitating since she was 2.5 weeks old and we plan to overwinter her. We give her lots of veggies, fruits, nuts, acorns, branches from outside with the mushrooms, lichen (I guess that's how you spell it), monkey biscuits, and salad leaves. She's very active and seems happy and loves to run up and down us and my 4 children and jump from head to head like she's playing "catch me if you can game".
Anyway, my daughters were cleaning out her cage and went to go get some fresh branches and leaves and found some mushrooms that grow in the ground and put them in the cage too. She immediately went for them and starting eating like crazy. But about 5 minutes later she started throwing up the mushroom. It's been about 15 minutes and she has stopped and seems okay, But just wanted to know if that was normal and I guess I shouldn't give her those anymore.
Any thoughts and advice is welcome.
Thanks!
