Milk bone dog biscuits

Does anyone know if milk bone dog biscuits are bad for squirrels? Barkley, who is about eight years old now, loves them.

It looks like they have a 1:1 calcium phosphorus ratio but there's not much of either in them... only 1/2 of 1%. They do have a good amount of A, D and E though. There are other things in them that I'm just not sure about. I don't think they're necessarily "BAD" for him but I can't say they're "good" for him either. Sorry, maybe someone else can tell you more. But you must being doing something right judging by his age!! :Love_Icon

LOL, yea he's the gift that keeps on giving. He stole a milk bone from the dogs one day, and ever since, he wants them. At least they keep his teeth down a bit.

Maybe he was fated to love dog biscuits, his name IS Barkley! :grin3

:grin2 Well I guess they certainly haven't hurt him any and he does love them. I would be interested to see if anyone else's squirrel has eaten them and if so, did your's love them like Barkley?

I don't think they will hurt him. There are these vegetarian dog biscuits which I used to be able to get at my local Petco that my squirrels LOVED. They came in sweet potato flavor and had lots of calcium but low phosphorous.....if I can think of the name I'll post it. My squees took to them much more readily than to rodent block, so I went with it!

EDIT: I remembered :oldwise ! It was the Halo brand.
