Good morning everyone! Sorry I've not posted in a while. Marcus is doing awesome! He's getting so big and playful. He has gotten too big for my small scale to weigh him so I will be investing in a larger one. At this point he is still on formula. I've been giving him as much as he will reasonably take but only three times daily. I've been offering water and squirrel blocks, acorn squash, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, lettuce in between meals. He doesn't really care for the hard foods though. And the squirrel blocks he tries to stash lol

When mine won't stay on the scale, I put a large bowl on the scale, press Tare and get it to zero, then weigh them in a bowl. It would save you from buying a new one.
He looks great!

It makes me smile to see another great update on this thread!
I agree with Nancy - when I think of how he started out and seeing him now, it is truly a great success story thanks to your diligent love and care.

Keep up with the formula, introduce blocks for him to nom nom and destroy until he starts eating them all gone. Once that happens, in a few weeks, you can start to offer one veggie at a time to see how he likes them, monitor poops, etc. Blocks and formula before veggies or treats!

I've started offering blocks. At first he didn't care for them of course bu he has been nom noming them now lol. He doesn't eat a whole block but we will continue to work on that and introduce other foods one at a time. He is such a sweet heart. So playful and loves his back rubbed. He really is a blessing.
