Is it a good idea to give my 7-8 month old squirrel tums? She eats kaytee blocks. She was eating brocolli and cauliflower but I had to switch her to mostly carrots 'cause, I guess, she was bored of those.i try to give her celery, kale, and cilantro, but she won't eat those. And I give her a nut and a couple of piece of fruit every evening.

If I should give her tums, how much? And how often? Thanks in advance!

I have occasionally given mine a Tums without vitamin D if I suspect they may be a little low on calcium, but I don't know about giving them on a regular basis. I use powdered calcium carbonate for that and just sprinkle a little bit on their food and it seems to work great.

HENRY'S SELLS IT. AS FAR AS THE VEGGIES GO, I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I AM CONSISTENT WITH THE MENU, THEY WILL EVENTUALLY EAT WHAT I GIVE THEM. LEAF LETTUCE, SPRING MIX OR ROMAIN, CHUNKS OF BUTTERNUT SQUASH, A GRAPE TOMATO CUT IN HALF, MUSHROOM SLICE, KUMQUAT OR MANDARIN SLICE, A FEW BROCCOLI AND CAULIFLOWER PIECES, BRUSSELS SPROUT CUT IN HALF. SUGAR SNAP PEAS, A FEW LITTLE CHUNKS OF AVOCADO, AND A COUPLE BLUEBERRIES. ALMOST THE SAME EVERY DAY AND I LEAVE IT THERE FROM EARLY AFTERNOON UNTIL MORNING WHEN I GIVE A SMALL BOWL OF FOX VALLEY AND THEN BLOCKS (WHICH MUST BE EATEN BEFORE THE SALAD.)
