i am feeding them the 32/40 formula from fox valley and the 20/50 formula has been ordered. they have been eating 5 to 7 cc every 5 hrs during the day but 7 to 8hr at night. they both weigh about 3.50 oz (99 grams) i am stimulating them after feeding and pee and poop all look normal. i am estimating they are about 4 1/2 to 5 weeks old, i wanted to get a better opinion on that. my plan is to release but i want some tips and instructions and when is a good time/age.

Their feeding amount and times sound good and yes I too would place their age to be around 5 weeks old. :thumbsup
As far as releasing goes they will have to stay with you for the Winter and be released in the Spring. We generally do a soft release when our baby squirrels are 5 months old. A soft release is when you keep and care for the baby squirrel inside with you until it is 4 months old, then you place the squirrel outside in an acceptable size cage (4x4x6) and allow it an entire month to wild up with out your daily interference in its life other than feeding and watering.
