Biting

[MorrisonTheSquirrel]

Hey I know my squirrel is a wild animal and only a baby but I was wondering if there was anything I can do about his biting? Maybe he’s trying to keep his teeth filed down or something? All advice welcome than you!

I use deer antler or tree branches cut down to size ( look on the safe food for squirrels, I'll see if I can get that.)
One thing to know when a squirrel bites when they are older it can pierce through your fingers to the bone 🙄 however squirrels do not carry rabies and all you need is to wash the area and maybe some ointment like Neosporin 👍
Not saying they all bite but it happens 😁

What's his diet like currently? I saw your other post about getting the Royal Canin milk? Has that worked out so far?
Does he have access to sticks to chew on? Does he have time outside his cage to stretch/run around freely?

This is the direct link to the squirrel food pyramid as well: https://henryspets.com/content/HealthyDietJan2014Print.pdf Although, now that I saw his age, it looks like he isn't quite ready for a complete solid food diet.

Right now he’s LOVING the formula and apples he goes crazy for them! He has a big enough cage with levels so he can climb and lots of stuff to hide on and chew. He runs around on me and around my room, he’s been super active and soon I’ll look into letting him outside with supervision.
