It gave him horrific diarhhea in the beginning!! That's when I started google searching and came across an article here and immediately ordered Fox Valley. Unfortunately, even by mixing 3:1 I couldn't get him to transition. When he refused the mix for a full 24hrs I had no choice but to give him the kitten milk back which he eagerly took. My point is, if they are known to go from the suggested recipe to the correct formula easily I would definitely go with that advice.
Good luck!

Kitten milk does not contain the nutrients a squirrel's body needs.
Squirrels are mammals that fall under canine, not feline!
