Wearing Teeth Down
I was wondering what are some healthy choices to give my squirrel to keep her teeth trim. She used to get a lot of in shell nuts, but we have cut her back on those, and I've noticed that her teeth are starting to get a bit long and aren't wearing down like they had been before. They aren't so long that I would have to clip them, yet, and I would really like to avoid doing so in the future. Are there any species of wood that I should avoid? Are there blocks available for them to gnaw on?

You can get in shell hazelnuts and offer them as treats. You should add a mineral block ($1 at petco), and some sticks for gnawing.
