I have a 9-10 week old squirrel that I have raised since he was 4 weeks old. He is eating formula, protein blocks and some a little bit of veggies. Yesterday he just started pooping white. He ate a little bit more than normal right before the hurricane but now is eating how he normally does. Any suggestions on what to do?

What formula is he on?
How much does he weigh and how much are you feeding?
Typically white poop is a sign of overfeeding.

He is on the FoxValley Formula for squirrels over 4 weeks.
He is eating about 11 tsp per day. He weighs 8 oz but just ate an hour ago.

Is he eating other foods, especially squirrel block?

A little bit Broccoli, Brussel sprouts and he eats about 1 protein block per day. Not sure he is eating it as much as he is chewing it and making a mess of it:)

He needs a good quality squirrel block and nothing else should be
introduced until he is eating the block. Of course formula is ALWAYS great
as long as they take it, never wean him off, give it as long as he wants.

Here is the food pyramind chart, and below the acceptable blocks.
I always get the HHB's (Henry's Healthy Blocks) as those are the only ones my squirrels eat.
