Hi.
I'm from the UK where there is very little help or rescources for baby squirrels.
He was found no mum or nest. Thought to be 4 weeks old as he only weighed 80g
But his eyes have opened putting him at around 5-6 weeks old. I fully hydrated him abc gradually weaned him onto formula. After 48 hours he's began urinating nice and light in colour but it's been almost 3 days and no pooing?
He's active, alert, hydrated, he's getting 4.5ml of feed every 4 hours.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated x

Thanks for helping this little guy. It depends on how long he was without mum (mom) :grin2 . It can take several days before you see poop. If his eyes are open, he is able to go by himself. Have you checked his bedding? There might be tiny poops hiding.

You could also try stimulating him after he eats. After feeding rub his bottom lightly.

Is this a grey squirrel?
