Hello, lovely people.

I'm just a girl in the woods who loves nature. I recently acquired 2 squirrel babies and I am here looking for information about care until they can be released in a few weeks.

Welcome! Tell us more about your babies 🐿️🐿️ and how we can help. Age? Species? What you're feeding them?

Hello, New! :grin2

You need to read this 6 page primer on raising babies. Pay attention to everything but the suggestion of formulas. Unfortunately the formula manufacturers make changes to their product so frequently that you basically need to check in here every time you end up with a new baby to determine what is working. For now, you should be feeding Esbilac POWDERED puppy formula, then do a transition or partial transition to Fox Valley 20/50 when they hit 4-5 weeks.
