Eating habits

Hes getting right along now and plumping up really nice! My question is should I ween him off of the formula? Hes actually started taking to the blocks (finally!) and still likes his formula. Ive noticed he only wants about 20ml a sitting and then wants to scurry about. Hes very active now and I have to really keep an eye on him! He climbs all over me! Ive made the little formula balls and he loves those but my worry with that is hes not getting enough water. I put a water bottle in his cage for him but he only uses it to perch on :sanp3 I did see some of it was gone but I havent really seen him try to get anything from it either. When I put little bowls for him he basically just walks in it. Suggestions?

It's a good idea to offer them formula until they no longer take it. Let them wean themselves instead of you weaning them.
