:Welcome He looks to me like he is around 10 weeks old. Does he still take formula? Everyone on here is gonna ask you about his diet. If you could post that it would be great.

They shouldn;t be on their own until 14 weeks at the earliest. Ask whatever specific questions you have and you will get answers.

Sounds like you know about as much as I do,diet sounds good, please make sure you peel grapes, they can choke to death on the peeling, (I lost a baby cause I didnt get off all the peeling, now I peel everything). Give him formula as long as he will take it, 5% to 7% body weight. Sweet fuzzyhead keep up the great work.

You are doing well so keep up what you are doing. As for his foot, he may have hurt it falling from a tree, on his way to you. If it isn't broken, just give it time to heal, as soft tissue injuries take the longest.
Chester is a great looking little one and I would suggest keeping him in for another month or two, then working on a soft release.

:thankyou for helping this little guy!

2ndhand has access to a vet and testing. Coons can carry a very fatal parasite for sqs.
