My baby flyers, guessing 6 weeks old didn't want to touch his last feeding of the day so I checked his belly and it didn't seem bloated, but it did appear there was a seed stuck into his hair on his anus. I massaged it with a warm wet QTip and the sees came free but there seems to be a hard blockage and since I removed the seed there has been some blood.

I'm currently switching from goats milk esbilac to the proper esbilac puppy milk after finding this message board.

I believe the seed was just mixed in with the Timothy hay I'm using as a base in their cage.

I have a picture but I took it with my phone and when I try to add it to this post it asks for a URL. If anyone can help me on how to load it from my gallery I'll gladly provide it.

Take out the timothy hay. It can mold and you don't
want them breathing that in.
What kind of a container do you have him in?
Here's a guide to Baby Squirrel Care.
It's 6 pages long with the next arrow in the top right corner.

You little one should be on heat under the container set on low.
Also get some fleece or an old nightgown cut up to put in the bottom o
of the container.

They're in a large bird cage with small enough slats they can't get out, theyre on heat, and I have a flannel shirt curled on one side for them to sleep in. I've read the guide many times over the past 3 days. I've had no problems with feeding or anything until this. Gonna try to get some straight water into him to see if that will help break up whatever is blocking him up. Ive also been changing their base and bedding every 2 days.
