We can not stress enough about their diet being the most important thing with captive squirrels.
All squirrels are picky to an extent, pacifying them by feeding nuts and seeds accomplishes nothing.
It only adds to their refusal of healthy foods, endangers their health and their lives.
Getting her to eat a healthy diet is going to be much harder now that she's used to getting nuts and
seeds but it is absolutely necessary!
I hope you can get your girl turned around with lessons learned.
