Good morning all! I'm Jenny, mother to a 2nd baby squirrel that I've had one week. Chipetta our first passed at 1.5 years rather suddenly so I'm a bit nervous with Wrigley and could be over worrying. I apologize for possibly incorrectly posting. I into'd myself (again) on the welcome thread. Wrigley is 4-5 week boy, no injuries, fox valley formula on the way due to holiday looking at Tuesday delivery. Esbiliac is what we are using now. He hadn't pooped since Thursday midnight! Stimulate, soak, a dose of pedialyte, repeat. Today he had .06cc of apple juice. What is the recommended remedy for no poop? He eats great & pees every time. His eyes are just today opening and is quite wiggly & twitchy today. Senses kicking in possibly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First make sure he is properly hydrated..... if not, this could leave a little one constipated.
If all is well in the fluid area then we can move onto giving him a little bit of natural pure
pumpkin mix (no spices) --this has always worked at getting things moving along.
