I'm going to search for info on your squirrel, but for now can you give a history and diet here please? Oh and type and age as well :grin3

EDIT: Followed TSB guidelines since 3 weeks old, grey, 12 weeks old currently.
Is he still on formula? How about consistently eating his blocks and other solids now (if yes solids, what kind?)? What about his weight? I noticed you weighed him everyday, is he still gaining or has he lost any? Can you post a picture also please?

Almost 13 week grey, weighs 345g and gaining everyday. Yes still on fv everyday and eating hhb pretty well twice daily. Trying to introduce solids now...he's super picky. So far he likes brussel sprouts, sweet potato, carrots and brocoli stems kind of...won't touch arugula, lettuce, red cabbage, chayote, or butternut squash. He also WILL NOT drink from his water bottle and I put fresh h2o in every day.

My Sammy drinks from the cat's water container all of the time and he is fine. Is it possible that he got into something else? Perhaps a plant or other toxin of some sort?

Ok. Thx for the input Sammy's mom! I freak out about everything and just want a healthy boy. I may have been over reacting but I honestly have never seen him as calm as he was a little while ago. At least not since he opened his eyes.

Have you tried different water bottles? Ambrose will only drink from one. Everything else he destroys or refuses to touch. Also, how does he get his water?

I have not tried a different bottle but I'm willing to try anything! As far as how he gets water I asked tab out this on here the other day and was told to serve his veggies with water on them and he's still on formula so I was hoping he's getting enough fluids...correct me if I'm wrong.

Formula is security against dehydration. He will be fine!:thumbsup
