Hi okay so it's been some years since Tootsie grew up and moved out of the house now I got two beautiful boys scooter and monkey. There was three but the person I got them from have been feeding them warm milk for two or three day so needless to say they were in really bad shape the the weights were 34g and 44g and little man was only 32 he was so weak. Because they are so under weight I am having a hard time telling age this is what I know eyes are not open yet but bottom teeth are starting to grow so would you guys say 4 weeks? I have had them for three day at the end of today it was rough start but yesterday these boys put on 5g and 6g very spunky now! I will weigh again later this evening at last feeding for the day cause thats just when I started so I'm keeping it the same. I am going to try to figure out how to add a photo to this I would love the help aging them! Thank you guys!!! The pic with three was the night we got them.

I’d say 4 weeks. Florida squirrels are smaller than northern ones. Eyes open around 5 weeks but can be off by a day or so.

Do you still have three or did you lose one?

No we lost little man he was so weak when we got him I'm not sure what the person who I got them from was doing but none of them had the strength to even suck I drop by droped it for almost a full 24 hours and boy oh boy now I have to make them slow down! Thanks so much for answer! Scooter gained another 6g in last 24 hours and monkey gained 8g! So it's going good!

I do have a question though so tonight scooter threw up like he was relaxed just eating dinner everything was fine and omg he threw up every where out of his nose and all... I have never had one do that... Any ideas? I'm hoping maybe he just over ate and his little body was like nope this is to much! But now I am watching him like a hawk!
