Hello, first post ever... Ive entered into baby squirrel fostering by default this summer, but am trying to be a vigilant foster mom. We've been fostering a baby grey for 4 weeks now and are researching constantly, learning how to do this safely. We are wanting to switch her to Fox Valley 20/50 since she is about 6 weeks old or so now. Is this a safe formula?

Welcome!
Yes.. so far so good. My little one is about the same age, she turned 6 weeks on Sunday (I'm tracking her age from when she opened her eyes.. I've seen a few times that they open them almost always at exactly 5 weeks).
Just a couple tips (from my experience.. this is my 1st squirrel baby).. Transition slowly and watch for bloating/constipation. Their little systems are very delicate to diet changes. Infant gas drops, Simethicone as the active ingredient, are really helpful as is a Probiotic.
Mix up the formula the night before, if possible. I've noticed there are some ingredients that take a bit to adsorb into the water.
Good luck!
Post pictures if you want.. love to see her cute face :Love_Icon
