Hi guys,

Everything worked out with my little girl squirrel (Willow). Her toe its back to normal, she must have twisted it or something. But all is well.

I have a few questions for ya all. First off, I have noticed that my little guys suck on eachother.... but now that they are getting older, they are starting to bite eachother on there little cheaks when they do this... is that normal??

My last question, they are about 9 to 10 weeks now, im feeding them 15cc of milk 3x a day but I thought it was about time to introduce other stuff. I have monkey chow and rodent block in there that they chew on and i gave them a few peanuts as a treat but what can i give them for veggies and fruits that would be stomach friendly? Also, when do you think its time to stop the milk??:tilt

Thanks for your help guys!

OK the lite thing has me worried. Its getting colder outside and I unfortunately work about 1/2 and hour away from them so they would end up being outside all day. Poor little guys might turn into ice cubes.

You had mention that once I start to ween them I need to get one of these lite right away... Do I need it now or can it wait until I start to ween them.... I dont want them to get MBD...

Im gunna print the list out you gave me and hit up the store before I go home. Also, with the egg, how should that be fed to them?? Should I cut it into quarters with the shell on it or in half or does it need to be mooshed after its boiled?? Wow, just when I thought things were getting easier... Thanks!!!:thankyou

Oh and the sucking, they sometimes still do it but not quite as much as before. The only time I have ever herd them sound angry with eachother is when they are sucking on eachother and that is usually around the time that I feed them. They love there milk! What do you think I should do about that?? Its now only on one of the Boys. It used to be both but the other guy is who I think was nipping to stop it from happening...
