HELP IM A NEW MOM

[Ani_mal91]

Hello!!!
So I’m a new mom to a cute little Gray squirrel! My manager found her in her yard and I had sucker written on my forehead so now I’m a mom. I also am a vet tech but unfortunately it’s only for cats and dogs. The some vets I work with do exotics so I got some good info...
Now to the real stuff. I put my baby at 5-6 weeks old because her baby teeth are coming in. I’ve been feeding her kitten replacement milk (per vet) and got her rat teething sticks. I’m feeding her 4cc every 3-4 hours but I don’t feel like she’s gaining anything and she looks skinny. Her bms are good and it’s not loose or anything. She’s just still skinny. What can I do to get her to gain weight?!?

Also she’s dragging her bottom 😐

I'm new as well but one thing I read was not to use kitten milk, get the puppy milk. Esbilac with probiotics

You also want to weigh your baby every day and feed 5 - 7% of baby's wt in ml of formula. Stay on here and we'll get your baby going well.

Yes, Esbilac Puppy Formula.. the powdered version pictured below. The KMR has too high and wrong type of protein for squirrels. When you switch you'll see a difference within a few days...

Also, here is a 6 page primer on baby squirrel basics:
