At about what age do they stop eating the FV? Rose is starting to fight me to eat it. She will eat a little then she's done.

They are all different. Some stop between 12 & 16 weeks and others are 2 years old and still take FV every day.
Try offering it to her in a small bowl/dish so she can lap it up instead of taking it like a baby does from a syringe.
I've also had luck making it cooler or warmer and trying again...:dono

Then maybe she is older than I think she it? I was thinking she was about 8 1/2 weeks old. My Dad thinks she is 10 weeks.

When my guys seem to not want it one day, I offer, they refuse, I do not push the issue as long as they are also eating their HHB's and healthy diet veggies. I try again at normal feeding times over the next couple days...most of them end up wanting just a bit more FV...it's just easier when Mom hands it to you all warm and yummy. :D

Thanks. I am still offering it to her on feeding times. Sometimes she will take it and others not lol! She is eating other stuff so I guess it's ok.

I am hoping and praying that you have her on HHB's already. If not you MUST get her on them ASAP....like order them right now and have them overnighted to you...still won't get them till Monday, but it is CRITICAL that she has a superior quality block if she's stopping the FV.

I have them. She doesn't eat them or the rat block. I made some stuff that she is liking and she eats some veggies too. She is a very picky eater!

This is not sounding good.....and sadly it normally does not end good.
Have you tried the Picky Eaters HHB's. I have never had a squirrel deny them...even my wilds eat HHB's.

Well my other sqrirrel didn't eaither and she was fine. I know I can't be the only one with a squirrel that does not like the HHBs. I made a recipe that I got off of here a long time ago and she is eating it. Full of good stuff!
Also I am going to try that soup that someone posted and see if she likes that :)
