My flyer "Bullet" used to be a little butterball with man boobs. over the last several months he has been loosing weight and is now quite thin. He eats a well rounded diet with supplemental calcium and vitamin d. He doesn't appear sick and gets around well for his age. No diarrhea or paralysis. any idea of foods for a aging flyer that will put some weight back on him?

Avocado is good for putting weight on a squirrel, but I would also suggest a trip to the vet to make sure some thing else isn't going on besides age.

Thanks for the assistance, but I'm sorry to say that Bullet has passed. He lived a good life and sired many babies. He has been retired for several years and living with a 11 year old retired female. She seems to miss the old fella so I'll try to slowly add another retired male in with her if she will accept him.
