The best thing you can offer is the rodent blocks, they make a mess of it at first, not really eating it - just chewing on it - but it does get them used to the taste of them. You can also offer little apple tree sticks - the size of a pencil or smaller. You can usually find those in pet stores.

She has both and she'll have hhb as soon as the vitamins come in and the whey powder I'm make in them my self

I would never give a squirrel any thing that it can chew into small pieces (like plastic) and possibly swallow then choke on........ I would stick with the suggestion of using an apple wood stick or the hhb block --you can even use deer antlers, they are a very good source of calcium.
