baby squirrel help/age ID

[Tracubs01]

did Hi all. :) My sister in law found 4 baby eastern grays about a wreck and a half ago.They were lying on the ground at a busy intersection.She said she couldn't find the nest nowhere in sight, so she took them home.She said she4 was more than she could handle for now so she asked me to take one. I have been giving him Esibilac , about 15 .ml 4x perday. But he shows a healthy interest in solid foods also.I've been giving him fruits and vegetables in small amounts. (squash etc). My question is.How old do you think he is? I'm asking because id like to .know when to wean hi m safely.Also, what Is the name of the Rodent block that I should be feeding him? Thanks in advance everyone! :) Ps -Trying to add pics.lol :D

In the very least, if you MUST break up the family, you should be doing 2 and 2. Everything will go more smoothly for him with a sibling - especially release.

Can you post a pic of him?

You need a gram scale to track weight and determine how much to feed him. Check kitchen department at Walmart. They are quite inexpensive.

You NEVER wean a baby squirrel. They wean themselves. Go to www.henryspets.com to the "squirrel diet" section and you will see blocks made especially for young squirrels.

If you then go to the top of the page where it says "Baby Squirrel Care" and read all of the categories. It is an excellent guide that covers pretty much everything.
