Hello from Houston

[Ace-the-squirrel]

We "adopted" Ace T. Squirrel on 09/06/14. I found him while on a walk. He was on the ground, pretty lifeless, with his two other siblings :sad One had passed already so I scooped him up and his sis. She unfortunately passed the second day.... He opened his eyes on the 10th and is active and becoming a little more "verbal" :grin2 He has woven a little place in my heart! :Love_Icon

Thank You all for the warm welcomes!

He gets Esbilac 1/4 c and water 1/2 c and whipped cream 1 t. ( someone from the forum was kind enough to give me that ) I just introduced the wc so I started slow. He eats every 4 hrs. 6-8cc's. I am waiting on the FV and his Henry's!
Hopefully they will be in very quickly.
I am nervous about his eating because I hope he is getting enough nutrition. I don't really know where to get any rodent blocks presently some I'm off to scour the city! Did I start too late with his blocks? :thinking Does he get enough water?

[farrelli]

As long as he's getting sufficient good formula, blocks aren't necessary. You're feeding Esbilac puppy powder with probiotics, right? That's what we generally recommend. He should get 5-7% of body weight at every feeding. For example, a 100g sq should get 5-7ccs. Mostly, people throw in some blocks for them to gnaw on at 6-8 weeks or so, but they don't really eat them at first. If you want to get some before your Henry's arrive, Kaytee Forti-Diet for rodents (blue bag) are available at many pet stores.

When you get the FV, you might want to mix it 50/50 with the Esbilac. It's what many people feel to be the ideal formula.

Great! Thanks :)
Ace is starting to clean himself and is quite frisky now! His poop is perfect! I was worried because it was loose... One can never be happy about loose poop Lol!
He is starting to not like his little "cotton ball baths" after feeding now :( It was a good bonding moment I thought. :Love_Icon

[Ace-the-squirrel]

Yep, "bath" time is pretty much over for Ace.... he lets me know in clear unspoken terms! :rotfl
He is cleaning himself very good now!
