I have looked at the ingredients on the FV - Raccoon 40/25 and compared it to both the FV- Squirrel 32/40 and the 20/50
Although there are some similarities the composition for the raccoon formula is way off from the composition required for squirrels, also the ingredients of the raccoon formula has too many additives that are not proper to a squirrels nutrition.
I personally would not recommend it, too many conflicting variables.

Outside the Fox Valley that has to be ordered, many members are using the (new) Esbilac with the pro & prebiotics that can be found in many pet supply stores as well as some WalMarts.

Thank you, I will go to plan B. I have some Fox Valley for squirrels just not much. I have had that fear of not having it when I need it. I let someone else have some and forgot to re-order. I will use what I have and get more ordered. I am rehydrating now and they seem to be doing okay this morning. I will transport them to a rehabber later this evening. I got the rehabbers name from someone, however, she is not on the official list that I have. Should I be concerned?
