Here is a link to the Healthy Diet, which is in our Nutrition Forum.

In addition to the Healthy Diet veggies, they MUST be on a good quality block. I highly recommend Henry's Healthy Blocks (HHB) Growth Formula. Here is a link to their website. http://www.henryspets.com/squirrel-blocks-growth-formula/

There are lots of different versions of Boo Balls. The original version was made for a squirrel that was having some serious mouth issues and was unable to eat block in it's original form...he needed something soft, so his Mommy came up with the idea of smashing his blocks into a powder and mixing healthy stuff with it, then rolling the mixture into little balls. The squirrels name was Boo, so she named the ball Boo Balls.

If your squirrels are able (and they sound as if they are) to eat the HHB's along with the Healthy Diet and they are still on FV formula, honestly, I do not think there is a need.
