what do i do?!?!:/

[music01]

ever since i took all the nuts from lulus diet she just seems frantic everytime i take her out looking for nuts like she doesnt want to lay with me or even just walk around she just freaks out trying to find nuts:/. it makes me really sad amd if she does it one and i either take it away from her or i am picking her up with it in her mouth she like "growls and squiks at me and like throws her hands on mine. she has never bite me even if i took a nut out of her mouth but i just dont want her just searching for nuts the whole times shes out. she is still limited time out because her leg is still broken but i want to let her roam a little but all she does it look around. she used to be the most loving playful baby now she just seems stressed:( what do i do:( it breaks my heart to see her like this

It will take time for her to get over the search. If she is still finding her hidden nuts, she will keep looking.

When the blood level of calcium rises above it's normal level, the endocrine feedback loop is activated and your squirrel will excrete out excess calcium rising above its normal blood level. So if your squirrel eats its rodent block and high calcium veggies, it has all the calcium its parathyroid gland will "allow" it to absorb before "telling" the kidneys to start excreting the excess calcium. If your squirrel has a functioning parathyroid gland and completely consumes its rodent block plus veggies high in calcium each day, giving it two or three small nuts/day as dessert is okay. If you give your squirrel one nut tonight and tomorrow she decides to not eat her rodent block because she's waiting for nut dessert, then don't give her more nut desserts for awhile.

A decrease in blood ionized calcium stimulates a release of parathyroid hormone, which maintains calcium homeostasis by 
1) increasing bone mineral dissolution, thus releasing calcium and phosphorus, 
2) increasing renal reabsorption of calcium and excretion of phosphorus, and 
3) enhancing the gastrointestinal absorption of both calcium and phosphorus indirectly through its effects on the synthesis of calcitriol. In healthy subjects, this increase in serum parathyroid hormone level in response to hypocalcemia effectively restores serum calcium levels and maintains normal serum phosphorus levels. PTH also enhances the conversion of calcidiol to calcitriol, which in turns decreases parathyroid hormone secretion at the level of the parathyroid glands completing the endocrine feedback loop.
