Need Information

[Roky's mom]

I have 6 week old squirrels and are trying to find out when to add solid food and any kind of information would be nice

You can go to Petco or one of the larger pet stores and get Kaytee or Oxbow etc. rodent block. It is big pieces that they will lick, crawl on, pee on and everything else other than eat them at first. It is great for them to start with and then many of us ue Henrys Healthy Blocks from henryspets.com for the long run. They are a tastier version of block that most of them really like. What kind of formula are they taking?

[Roky's mom]

We do give them squirrel blocks and they are on fox valley formula. What age do we start giving them fruits and vegatables?

When they're eating all of their blocks you can slowly introduce veggies then after they eat all their good veggies, then fruits

We start feeding squirrel blocks (hhb) around 7-8 weeks old.

I would say about 7-8 weeks on the veggies. Try one at a time.
Something hard like a piece of squash or sweet potato, even a little
slice of apple. Everything should be without the skin for a while.
Read the food pyramid chart and remember to add greens as well from the list.
Really limit the fruit.
