I am new to baby squirrels. No rehabbers in the area to assist. Joey appears to be approximately 6 wks old from information on the internet. He has been eating Esbilac puppy milk replacer. 3.5ml to 5 ml 4 times per day. I gave him pedialyte at first with the formula because he was dehydrated.
He was 55 grams when my neighbor found him and is now 68 grams. I've had him 1 week.
What do I feed him next?
Thank you.
68 grams would be light for a 6 week old grey, what kind of squirrel is Joey?Quote:

solids are introduced.
I'm attaching link to the healthy diet as well as one on baby squirrel care. Your likely past
some of the stages but it can still be helpful with others.
