I'm very new to all of this & so far I've gotten very good info from this forum. The past couple of days my squirrel "Gravy" will just fall over. Gravy acts as if he's "drunk" & unsure of himself. It seems to happen after he's been fed but an hour or two later he acts normal again. I Recently bought from Henry's Heathly Pets the Fox Valley Day One Formula 20/50 & the High Protein Blocks. This may NOT b the reason but it seems that Gravy did not have this behavior until I started feeding him the blocks. I only feed him 1/4 at a time & no more than 1 full block in a day. I've tried to introduce him to carrots, broccoli, dandelions, & apples. He has not eaten any of it. I'm scared that this is definitely not normal. Please someone help!!

How and where did you find Gravy? How long have you had him? Is it possible to post a video? Sorry for all the questions ; but the answers will help determine what is going on with him.

How long have you had him?
What formula was he raised on?
Can you post a picture?
Is there anyway he could have taken a fall?
Is he hydrated?
How much does he weigh?
Have you given him ANYTHING else to eat?
I have never heard of the blocks having this sort
of reaction, so I doubt they're the problem.
Stop feeding them, and see if you see improvement.
I honestly believe this is a neuro issue and nothing to do with
what he's eating.
What kind of cage do you have him in?
Sorry for so many questions, but it will help us to determine what
the problem may be.
