One of the coolest things I've learned about squirrels since starting to rehab them is that their front bottom teeth MOVE!!! Freaked me out too the first time I noticed it while formula feeding one of my babies. You'd think they would be solid as rocks in order to crack open nuts, but they do move apart & together from each other. It's a mystery to me how they don't just fall out--mine would if they were that loose! But they don't. As long as they're not too long from misalignment with the top teeth (called malocclusion), they're probably just fine. Exhale! No worries!:grin2

Not a problem! None of us were born knowing this stuff--I'm still learning daily! These little guys amaze me every day in multiple ways. Enjoy the journey!
