Still got to order the oil; but found Organic Chia seeds in grocery. Are these good to roll boo balls in? Do they like them? Greys and /or Flyers?

For most humans they are a good source by themselves of fiber, omega 3 to 6, protein, lower in fat. For rodents they contain higher oxalates than calcium. So not, this one like others isn't a good seed source, but the oil that is a concentratesthe high Omega 3 fatty acids is a keeper.

They are very good for your health, save you are a stone former?

I get the white chia seed, as research indicates that species of plants that are albinistic are lower in oxalates,

like a variety of Asparagus, and white pepper corns are vs. the nominal coloration for these sources.

For now I'm still looking for this specific data on the white chia; if I find it is low I will share it on the board.

Great!

Like said, if I could learn from some on TSB to eat like some of your squirrels, I might be a healthier human !!

Yes, organic chia seeds are great for rolling boo balls. They offer excellent nutritional benefits, including omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and protein, which are beneficial for both grey and flying squirrels. Chia seeds' small, crunchy texture adds an appealing element to the treats, making them more interesting for the squirrels to eat. Additionally, chia seeds are safe for consumption and a natural food source, making them a healthy and enjoyable option for your squirrel treats.
