    Try offering avocado. Do NOT let him have either the pit or the skin - he can have the meat inside only. Most squirrels love avocado and it is filled with healthy fats.

    Oh yeah, you're trying to re-home. You should bump your thread, often. At least once a week.

    Went and bought an avocado. Turns out it isn't as ripe as I thought it was, though. Is it safe to give them the 'meat' while it's still a little on the hard side, or do I have to wait for it to soften up to the typical mush?

    I don't think it's very good when no ripe i.e. it is harder to digest. Place it in a paper bag with an apple and leave it on the counter for one day, it will probably be ready tomorrow.

    I also give my guys the Henry's blocks - I order the vita-mins and make them myself - it's the only thing they have in their cage in the morning; that way I am sure they eat them. Then I leave them a handful of the Teklads for throughout the day, and I give them one big boo-ball at bedtime every night.

    Haven't noticed anything like that, no.

    No swelling or other weird symptoms besides the reduced weight, very soft fur and behavioral/energy level changes.
