OK, so I just ordered some picky blocks. I sure hope this works as I have one of the worst picky eaters!!!!!! She is about 11-12 weeks now, does not want formula at all anymore, and is soooo fussy. I have rat block for her. never saw her eat any of it. But I have seen her bury it right in the pee-pee section of her cage!!!!!! i guess that is what she things of them. I am running out of ideas. Until the picky blocks get here, I will continue with my little vitamin ball trick. I take a tiny bit of almond butter ( maybe 1/3 teaspoon ) I roll it like clay and mix in one 500MG tums ( crushed) and tiny bit of powder pet bird vitamins from Dynamite nutrition ( very good stuff and all chelated). I know it is for birds, but until those picky blocks get here, I have to do something!
She does eat some wild plants from outside, like dandilions and lambs quarter, but not too much else. Oh yes, she does eat sweet potatoe. Fussy girl!
She is also a needy squirrel. She is so terrified of everything when I put her in her outdoor cage for the day, and she just LOVES to snuggle in my sleeve at bedtime. But during the day she plays hard and is active. She seems fine, but I have never had one sooooooo fussy.
