New weight question

[EmmasMummy]

Okay, I read that the squirrels are supposed to gain weight on a daily basis. They were but the last three days they have been at the same weight. Is that okay? Should I feed them more?
Thanks in advance.

I would increase their food intake, yes, so long as something like diarrhea isn't causing their weight loss. If they are pooping and peeing normally but not gaining weight then definitely increase by 1/2 to 1cc per feeding to start with. You want to avoid dehydration at all costs, because it will cause them to stop developing properly.

It is normal for infant squirrels to not gain weight the first three days in rehab. Often times they lose weight the first three days. If yours are not losing, but maintaing, give it another day you should see some weight gain today.
