So other than the block what snacks can I leave for them?

Since they are eating their blocks, you can start to introduce veggies from this handout. I would start with one at a time, the leafy greens are easy, so you will know if something upsets their tummy.

Here is a handy 'how to feed what and when' link as well: https://thesquirrelboard.com/forums/...h-Picky-Eaters

I would not feed any other solids until you are sure they are eating the blocks and not just crumbling them, hiding them, or just out right peeing on them. The blocks MUST be the first solid staple in the diet. If you add other things too soon they will possibly refuse block and become picky eaters putting them at risk of not getting complete nutrition and conditions that result from lack of the appropriate vitamins. One being metabolic bone disease.

Sorry, I was reading through your thread and you mentioned that they were eating rodent block, up to 15 ml per feeding and 300 g. I thought it was time to introduce veggies. Didn't mean to steer you in the wrong direction.

No worries and they are eating blocks to my knowledge. Their not quite at 300gs yet but eating milk well but ill just keep doing blocks and formula for awhile cant hurt right lol
