    Default Baby sister squirrel skinny

    Hello, My dog found two baby squirrels 2 weeks ago. I had a scary up and down first week as I had to learn as I went.

    Now I have a good grasp on everything except Im wondering why my girl squirrel is 15 grams smaller than her brother. Shes 36g hes 51g. Shes very strong, active, strong appetite. Shes just not quite filling out.

    Ive seen a post and pics of soemone going through a similar thing where one squirrel just never really grew. Anyone have this experience?

    Did they both weigh the same when they came in? What formula are you feeding? How old are they?

    We love pictures if you could post.

    Pictures would be very helpful.

    Girls can be a little smaller than males. It's important to know what and how often you're feeding. She may need fed a little more often than him.
