I have only been giving it to them for 2 days now. Up until a minute ago I read on here when I first found them that Fox Valley was the best to give them but now I'm finding out that it will kill? I'm not giving them very much yet So do I need to go back to the goats milk For now or what?

How old are they and are they having any digestive issues (diarrhea or constipation)?

They've only been on the FV for 2 days now. And today was the first day that I gave it to them straight- Without mixing in some of the other homemade goats milk, heavy whipping cream, yogurt formula with it. They're still using the bathroom Very well at every feeding. They also just open their eyes 2 days ago so I'm assuming they are around 6 weeks. I posted another thread on Non life Threatening because they just developed little white bumps on their bellies and hind legs earlier today! But so far that is the only issues we are having at the moment.
-- Their droppings are small and yellowish but Seems like a normal consistency.

Are they flyers or greys? My eyes are about to close on their own and I have to get up in about 1.5 hours for another feeding. I'll check back.

At 6 weeks old with normal poops, the 32/40 is NOT going to harm your babies. Our concern is that 32/40 is no longer the best formula to use for neonates -- NEWBORNS -- and up to 2 weeks old.

Well sadly to say we just returned after being gone three hours we had fed the babies right before we left, We came home to find the most healthy and best eater had passed away.... :hurt

I am so sorry to hear this, it had to be hard on you to find the squirrel like that.

I just don't understand what happened -out of all of them we always thought if only one made it then it would be him! His little belly was swelled up, So from what Ive read I'm leaning toward it was the Fox Valley that caused it. We are going back to the original recipe for formula that we found on here-- because they were doing well on that (for the past 3 weeks) or so it seemed. Very Disappointed in Fox Valley for advertising and selling a formula to feed squirrels when it kills them!!! Shame on you Fox Valley! ! :(

It is hard to say what might have caused it, bloat or the change over to FV....... but know that you did your best and loved him while he was here. I personally use Esbilac now over Fox Valley, but many other still use it with good results.
