White poop?!

[PearlsMom]

Rose just had a very pale yellow- almost white poop. What dose this meen?

OVERFEEDING, 99% of the time.
Either she's taking too much in one feeding, or you are feeding too often before she has a chance to digest the previous meal. How much does she weigh, and how many cc's does she typically take in one meal?

[PearlsMom]

She will be 7 weeks on Monday. She ways 199 g. She is eatting 10-11cc every 4 and a half hours.

ok -- there you go. Every 4.5 hrs is way too often for her age. Stretch her out to every 5.5 - 6 hrs, or basically Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Late night snack. When mine are that age, I feed them at 7am, 12;1pm, 7pm, and right before bedtime (midnight). I do that until they give up the late night meal on their own.

I'm pretty sure stretching out her feedings will cure the white poopies.:thumbsup

As soon as mine open their eyes they get monkey biscuits and rodent block in the cage with them. They just mouth it and demolish it for a week or so but next thing you know they're eating it. Get her on at least one type of block NOW and your life will be infinitely easier - and she will be infinitely healthier. I start with Zupreem monkey biscuits, then Mazuri blocks plus Henry's Healthy Blocks twice a day when they are about the age of your little one. You can start green veggies anytime, also. I would hold off on the avocado because it's like squirrel crack: once they taste it they don't want anything else :D. And NO NUTS until she is at least 8-9 wks old, and then only one or two per day.

Where do you get your Monkey biscuits and rodent block at? Oh and the Mazuri block? I have HHB already. She is starting to eat them rather than play with them lol!

That's good. You can order Zupreem monkey biscuits from squirrelsandmore.com -- but some feed stores also carry it, I'm told. (We don't have feed stores in the Bronx :D.)

Order Mazuri direct from the company; the shipping is WAY cheaper.

Do I have to have this stuff or are the HBB's ok? I hate ordering stuff online. I know that I got the FV and HBB's off line but... lol I never had it with my other squirrel Pearl and she was ok. If you say I NEED it I will get it.

THEORETICALLY, if you keep her very strictly on the Healthy Diet veggies, and she eats 2 HHB's per day, she doesn't THEORETICALLY need the rodent block. However, it makes life a lot easier for you when she does eat them and you can keep them in her cage at all times, because 2 HHB's may be perfectly balanced for calcium & other essential nutrients but they are not going to fill up a squirrel for an entire day. So you either need to knock yourself out buying fresh produce every couple of days, OR you can get her used to rodent block so she always has something healthy to munch on. Your call.
BTW, since I hate shopping in stores, I was probably the first person ever to buy online back in the '90's.....I can swear to you with my hand on a Bible that I have never, EVER had a problem. Not one. No hacking, no ID theft, no nothing. Maybe that puts your mind at ease a bit. :)

Ok I will get some rodent block then lol! What site do you get it from? Can you give me a link :)
