Hi all... My little one is refusing formula... Any ideas how I could still get some in him... Also his diet consists of grapes, avocado, leaf lettuce, radish, hhb, bananas, apples, I think that's pretty much about it anything else I can add to his diet to balance it out. Thank you for your input

What kind of formula are you feeding? Sometimes adjusting the tempature of the formula helps - it may not be warm enough. I sometimes will add some Yobaby vanilla yogurt for my picky eaters to their formula. You might want to cut down on the fruit some until he is eating his formula and healthy veggies well. Also, soon you will need to start him on some healthy squirrel block or rodent block if you haven't already. Many of us feed the Henry's blocks for squirrels which you can purchase here www.henryspets.com. The blocks for baby squirrels are the ones you want to get. He is getting close to the age where he is ready to wean himself off the formula.

He is eating his hhb and I already have tried the yogurt 2 weeks ago because he wasn't wanting to eat. Any other foods to add? I am worried about the mbd that he can get.

If he is eating his HHB, then you don't have to worry about MBD as two a day has all the calcium and other nutrients a squirrels needs daily in addition to fresh veggies.
