My little boy will be 8 weeks tommorow and I am feedng him formula 4 times a day at the moment. There are alot of different websites out there that say 4 times a day, some say 3 times a day, and others say 2 times a day at 8 weeks. I wanted to get some other opinions and figure out where we should be with his schedule. Thanks:)

It depends a lot on the squirrel. at about this age, if they are starting to actually eat solids and are not just shredding them I increase the ammount I am feeding from 5% to 7% of their weight in grams and drop the number of feedings to 3. :)

I have 3, 6-8weeks old squirrels. I was told to put whipping cream in with the formula but i'm not sure how much whipping cream to put in. Does anyone know.

If they are gaining weight and healthy you shouldn't need to add anything. They should be fine. Never add whipping cream (has stuff added to make it a little sweet) if you have to add something it's heavy cream. How are your babies doing? Got any pics:poke ,we love pics. How did you get your babies?
By the way :Welcome
