Flying Squirrel - need help getting started

Not sure if this will be correct --but going to try to upload a video link of him during playtime ....

He is fast as lightning. He looks like a little remote control car. 🤣🥰

Luv the video, wow! So cool to see a flyer in action; what busy little critters they are!

Up the door was over the top with flying into the camera head on!

The video is great! It shows exactly what it’s like during play/flight time.

I remember my Bonzai’s first leaps were off of a door also. I bought a cat tree on eBay. You can get some pretty cheap. Flyers LOVE cat trees to launch from. I remember laying in bed watching TV as a flyer would leap off of the tree and glide in front of the TV. I thought, I bet that wouldn’t happen in most homes.

Yep, they are amazingly fast! I agree with HRT, cat trees off Amazon are wonderful for flyers. A little unstable for grays, but still doable....and totally useless for cats. My cats can topple the tower over! For a flyer you don’t need a tower with enclosed areas, they don’t use them. Just platforms and vertical poles will do.

Thank you 🙏. He isn’t dehydrated for sure. That’s why I’m going ahead with formula. Did your make it okay?

I sure did. I still have her. I love to watch her fly!

I’ve had her 2 weeks now. I think she is about 7 weeks old. She starting eating more solids and trying to ween herself from the formula. I’m going to give it to her as long as she will take it though.

Adorable.

You can also try a tiny bowl for formula. I have an 8 year old that will drink formula from a tiny 2 inch bowl. The bowl is a heavy weight tea light candle holder from WalMart. It makes an awesome bowl for flyers.

I have some tiny bowls. I will give it a try. Thank you!
