He has now been with us a full week and is growing like a weed. Fox Valley and Henry's squirrel blocks came today. No success so far eating block. I will be starting transition from goats milk to FV today. Any advice on ratio?

Yes. Mix both up according to direction, in seperate containers.
Then add 1/2 of each into a third container.
Shake well.
Feed this mixture for 2-3 feedings.
Make sure that the stools are fine.
Then go to 3/4 Fox Valley to 1/4 GM for the
next 2-3 feedings, again making sure all is going
well with pooping.
Then go to all straight FV.
Oh, I moved your thread out of how to upload pictures.....

More pictures....
He looks pretty good.
How's it going with the FV?
He might still be a bit young to really go after blocks other than a small nibble now and then.
It's good that you're starting him young.
You can also offer a small piece of pecan or apple.
He is doing very well on FV. He started out very small at 54 grams his first weigh in. He is now at 150 grams growing like a weed. his fur is looking much better and his tail is fluffing. More pictures from his bigger cage that he loves!
More pictures of Do Da. It is hard to get good ones unless he is asleep.

The Peace of Wild Things
BY WENDELL BERRY
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
Love the UP-date photos...So handsome--

LOL, I think my son has given up making him a manly squirrel :-) He sees just how much of a momma's boy DoDa is and I remind him that he was a momma's boy too for a long time.Originally Posted by Shewhosweptforest
Oh my!!! That beautiful snowy white tummy!!! KLUNK!!!
Squirrels, squirrels and more squirrels....
Prayers for the people who make this a better world...

It's good to remind them that they were Momma's little boy to start I have two sons 32 and 35... and I retain the right to smoochie and embarrass them at my own discretion but I don't do it often and I think they actually like the attention ....sometimes Need more pics of that little Momma's DoDa

Since he is an only squirrel and is so playful I held a mirror up for him just to see what he would do and I tell you I almost wet my pants laughing so hard! He smacked the the squirrel he saw over and over again trying to get it to play with him. Then he kept looking around the back of the mirror trying to find the squirrel he saw. When he could find him around the back he just stopped for a moment as to ponder the situation then ran up my arm to to look me right in the face as to tell my the other squirrel wouldn't play with him. He was so funny and cute I then felt bad and had to wrestle with him for a good half hour. My hands are scratched to pieces but worth it! gotta love him such a character.

Cheeky tried to attack the squirrel in the bathroom mirror once; jumped at the mirror, smacked his face really hard and got knocked backwards into one of the sinks. He was a little dazed for a few seconds, but recovered quickly. He leapt from the sink and ran like h*ll. I don't know if he thought that strange squirrel kicked his butt or what.
