I have been on here now for a few weeks and have really enjoyed reading and learning so much. I have a squirrel, her name is Kipper. She has been with me now for about 7 months. I have had her since she was around 3-4 weeks old. She is a huge part of our family now. She is so sweet and entertaining. I have had to do a lot of research on how to take care of her. Wish I had found this place when she was a baby. I was one that was feeding the wrong diet and she started having little seizures. I research and found out that she needed calcium and vitamin d so off to petsmart I went. I was feeding her way to many nuts. Since being on here I have learned about Henry's healthy pets and have ordered the food for picky squirrels. I did exactly what I had read about how to get her to start eating it. It has been about a week now and she is eating her healthy food so good. I only give nuts as a treat now. I also ordered the peanut treats, she's not warmed up to those yet, but in time I feel sure she will! I am so thankful to have found this place and become a member. Thanks for ALL the wonderful advice. Looking forward to learning more. I just LOVE being a squirrel mommy and I am so happy to finally know what I should be feeding her to keep her healthy!!! Thanks everyone!! :thankyou
