So i rescued 2 wonderful baby squirrels (male and female) at 3 weeks they are 5 weeks now. When i first got them 2 cats tried to get to them but luckily I had on socks and cuddled them up. Well at first the crash wouldn't eat much at all she would eat bare minimum them one night i took extra time with her and she just started eating. They started off at 5ml each well now they are taking anywhere from 8 to 10ml every 3 to 4 hours they let me know when they are done. Anyway they have started chewing on their cage and my fingers so i got them little wooden sticks and got them carrots( shredded liked) and radishes(do not like). I guess the main question is did i do it to early its been about 15/16yrs since I've had babies. I love my babies and they sure are attached. Oh and btw i love this page.

I think it best if the first solid food they get is rodent block. Once they are eating that well then start introducing veggies.
