My fox squirrel is 7.5 months and still wants his FV 20/50 twice a day. He gets plenty of fruits and vegetables in addition to his Henry's picky blocks.

He gets four teaspoons of formula in the morning and again in the evening. Is there any reason this is not okay? I know he will have to give it up or I will have to give it up for him before I can release him.

It's perfectly ok for him to still want and take it.
Does he still take nipple or from a dish?

Honestly, I have a released female that I continued to feed formula to, by nipple, for years after she was released. She stays in my yard in a box, so I kept a ladder by her box and would climb it every night around dusk and feed her the formula. :shakehead:shakehead. It’s great nutrition so continue as long as he wants it. IMO.

Thanks for your response :-) he drinks his milk from a saucer.
