Info needed

Can someone point me in the right direction of where the charts are on determining age of a baby quarrel as well as how much to feed based on weight? I’ve been MIA for quite some time and just acquired an injured baby. TIA

Weight Chart:
Based on --Wild Mammal Babies 2nd Edition

Birth ---: between 15 & 25 grams

1 weeks: between 25 & 60 grams

2 weeks: between 60 & 70 grams

3 weeks: between 70 & 80 grams

4 weeks: between 80 & 120 grams

5 weeks: between 120 & 150 grams

6 weeks: between 150 & 250 grams

7-8 weeks: 250 grams and greater


*weight may vary depending how long the orphan baby squirrel has been away from mom and food.

Thank you so much!

Feed 5-7% of body weight per feeding.

Example: a 100gram baby would receive 5-7 ml of formula per feeding.

The number of feedings per day depends on the age.

Post #1 of this thread gives a chart with the amount of formula based on weight.
The 5-7% of body weight per feeding is a guideline and not an absolute rule.
Some will take less and many will take more but you need to work up to larger amounts as they get older.
