Ok maybe I am over reacting but I am worried about pneumonia.

Two Squirrels
have had them since tuesday approximately 2 weeks old each eating 1 cc

Chipette this morning weighs 23 grams (when I received them she was 20 grams)
Dale weighs 20 Grams (he was 15 when I got him)

I am feeding them KMR Kitten replacer BUT I have FV arriving anytime (it is on the UPS truck) so I will gradually switch them over, I am using a 1CC syringe to feed them BUT I have the miracle nipples and 1cc slip ring syringes on the way also.


When I fed them (takes me about 15 mins to feed one squirrel) and did their voiding and then a few minutes to just cuddle and rub them so they are not so lonely..i thought I heard clicking but it is so hard to hear because they just ate and were still sorta suckling on well nothing and moving and squirming

Poop is good, no diarreah and they both pretty much pee every feeding


So am I over reacting?? Do I need to start worrying??


I am in lakleand florida too btw


so...what do you think?

Ok I think I am just paranoid. I went into their room, and they are curled up sleeping and not a single *click* heard. I would hear the click all the time right?

Yes. They make all sorts of little clicks and grunts and purrs.

You would hear the clicks with almost every breath. Just keep listening, closely.
