I have (dumplin) a female grey squirrel 1yr old. I hand raised her with intentions to be released into the wild, but turns out she has a deformed back right foot and nerve damage to that same foot. She can't jump as far or climb as fast also that foot accidentally catches when hangs upside down and has no feelings in those toes. So she is my educational/pet squirrel. She loves all nuts of course but on the nutritional guidelines it does not say yes or no about those 3 types of nuts. She only gets them every now and then as a treat but would like some info on this. Thanks

I believe pine nuts are the worst of the worse when it comes to calcium to phosphorous ratio. I am not really sure about where the others fall in tersm of relative badness....

I'd be curious to know what her actual daily diet is.
Does she eat any kind of rodent block? If so, what type is she fed?
