Squirrel entertainment?

[haley1016]

I have a 6 week old baby boy squirrel and I feel like he gets bored. What is the best entertainment for him while he is in his cage? We had orphans before, but there were 2 of them and they played with each other.

Tree branches are good and he absolutely needs some toys, especially a stuffed animal or two about his size with no beads or anything that he could bite off and choke on. No bean filling. They love t o wrestle and cuddle with them. Also, here's a link to a member here who makes furnishings and such for squirrels:

Finally, could you please tell us his diet? It's the thing that most people get wrong, so we're pretty interested in it. Diet is critical.

Hi haley1016,

I was wondering the same thing! We have a 5 week old whose eyes opened a couple of weeks ago and he is starting to get active. His new cage is on the way and I don't know what toys will keep him occupied.

Ooops, I meant a 5wk old whose eyes opened a couple of days ago. Anyway, try this thread:
