Any such thing as a squirrel weekly or bi-weekly meal plan exist?

I’ve done so much research on foods and her meals revolve around the Henry’s chart but, I was curious if there was anywhere online that had possible meal planners with what other indoor squirrels are fed each day for a week or two? Something I can copy to help with balancing out the proper nutrients and everything per day with their blocks and when and when one not to give them nuts and fruits. Kind of similar to what we would do with our weekly meal preps and such! I would love any information if such a thing existed because I want to make sure she’s getting everything she needs before release, no more no less 😊

I’ve never seen such a thing. If you’re following the squirrel diet pyramid and offering the majority of food from the first column and limiting the others then chances are your squirrel is getting a balanced diet. A variety of food items provides varied nutrients, but sometimes squirrels get picky and won’t eat much variety. Nuts should be kept to a minimum. I don’t usually offer any until my squirrels go to the release cage. That way I don’t have to worry about them stashing them and they don’t know what their missing so they eat their good food. :grin3

I’ve been following a few pages on Instagram that do meal prep and it has been very helpful! She’s thankfully not the pickiest eater but I do switch up her foods weekly. I was following the Henry’s chart in the beginning but seeing prepping done with the foods and how much has been much easier for us 😊
