What is a healthy color of urine for squirrels. Spayed female

[TinyPaws]

This is Rosie's pee I wiped up on her cage shelf. The shelves are coveted in dark lenolium.

Here is info on her daily diet. Every morning she drinks about 2ml fox valley. After that she gets a 1/2 nut. Her out of cage time is between 4 to 6 hours, constantly supervised by me, which at that time she gets her plate of food. Apple, mushroom, grapes, carrots, broccoli, avacado, yellow squash and artichoke heart, I also sprinkle everything with calcium powder. She won't eat lettuce or any leafy greens. During her time out she will consume 1 nut. At bedtime I give her about 1 to 2 nuts broken up variety of pecan, walnut and almond.
I was suppose to take her to the doctor this past Tuesday but I was violently sick to my stomach late Sunday evening and running a low grade fever until yesterday.
Her activity has picked up yet she is not as bouncy and tumbly. She prefers to do a lot of snuggling.

Squirrel urine is yellow. Dark yellow/amber is concentrated and could be that way for a variety of reasons. Rosies does not look abnormal.

It sounds like Rosie gets quite a few nuts in a day. It also sounds like you might be supplementing with a lot of extra calcium. Too much calcium in a squirrels diet is harmful, just like too little. An over abundance of calcium in the diet can lead to kidney issues.

Does Rosie get any type of rodent block or boo balls? It’s imperative that captive squirrels eat a rodent block. I think you should order some Picky Eater blocks from Henrys Pets online and see if you can get Rosie to eat them. They are usually well liked.

Cut back on the nuts and the calcium. Maybe use a slight dusting of calcium on any nuts given or sprinkle on her food only a couple of times a week.

I assume you’ve tried greens like kale, arugula and radicchio. I have found them to be a little more liked.

I should have been more clear, my bad. I offer Rosie FV every morning via a syring but usually she doesn't drink it or will only take 1 or 2 licks. Yesterday she drank 2ml today nothing and the past few days nothing. I only offer the FV to supplement her and Heather's diet because they are both very picky eaters and don't eat most of what is offered.
Rosie had an infection of the uterus a few months back. I posted here on TSB because she was going to have surgery to be spade. A member, non rehabber, who I won't mention had told me that after the surgery I needed to increase or double her calcium intake daily because her body would not produce enough and she would get mbd.
As for Jake and such, neither will touch it or similar vegitables. They will sometimes eat fresh baby spinach but I read too much if that is not good so I don't give it out a lot.
I gave tried all types of blocks and Rosie will not eat any of them. Heather rarely. I have store bought rodent blocks for my mice and on occasion Rosie took a couple of bites.
As for the nuts..I was told 3 a day spread out is fine. And mostly she justvhides them around without eating them. I would estimate she actually eats an average of 1 to 2 mixed out of the shell nuts. The picture shows her diet.
Other then the discoloration of Rosie's urine, she is otherwise very active.

TinyPaws, have you specifically tried Henrys Picky Eater or Hazelnut blocks? Have you tried making booballs with ground up hard extruded block, like Harlan Teklad 2018, mixed with some ground nuts, coconut oil, powdered FV formula, and various vegetable and fruit baby food to hold it all together?

With a diet containing nuts and corn, no leafy greens or rodent blocks, I think your squirrels are prime candidates for MBD.

Many folks on here have had squirrels that were picky eaters. But offering them the healthy, good stuff (which includes a rodent block and leafy greens) and not giving in and offering nuts or treats, is what we call “tough love”. Squirrels will not starve themselves if they have good food to eat. It may take several days, though, for them to be convinced that the other yummy stuff is not forthcoming.

I have tried the various H H blocks and she will not eat them. I have even tried the HHH treat Styx and she will not eat them. I can try the tech lek blocks because they are not expensive. I live on a very limited income ever really come up afford to buy her things I know she will not eat. Even though she does not eat leafy green items she does eat avocado, artichoke hearts, and broccoli, which are greens.
She also eats apples tomatoes mushroom and various sorts of sprouts. I also offer her asparagus which she does not eat but that is okay because that is something I like and it will not go to waste. As for the corn she only gets a small portion of that and not every day. Rosie is not very big on eating fruit I do offer the Apple I do offer grape I do offer blueberry but seldom does she really eat a lot of that she picks out it at the best. I am not really familiar with boo balls although I have heard of them. Rosie is a very very very picky eater which is why I do supplements her diet with Fox Valley formula which she does not drink everyday though I do offer it to her everyday. I have had Rosie now for almost one year her diet has never changed she has always been healthy and bubbly and bouncy. The only health problem she has had was the pyometra infection in her uterus which was taken care of. It has only been in the last week that her attitude and energy has teamed to change and I noticed the dark urine when I cleaned her cage. She has in the last couple of days become more active she is jumping a lot running around a lot chewing on her would a lot so her appetite is still picky and I change her food to freshen it up a couple of times during the hours that she is out., which is usually 5+ hours each day. Today when I cleaned her cage and wiped down her shelf where she does urinate it was clear. I do have a very experienced veterinarian for Rosie and if I continue to see a problem then I will take her in to be seen. Again I offer Rosie of varied variety of healthy food that is and has been recommended by the squirrel board and also by Jackie so I know she is getting healthy choices. I cannot force her to eat anything and I cannot afford to experiment with different types of blocks since I've already tried them I already know she will not eat them.
