Another option for delivering the powdered calcium partial multi daily MBD treatment doses would be to make up a dough ball type mixture consisting of organic: quick cook plain organic oatmeal. plain organic yogurt, and organic naturally sweetened applesauce, with no additional sugars added. These are available in 6 pack of little min plastic tubs.
Since oatmeal about doubles in size from the measure to cooked measure, 1/2 Tbsp. = 1 + 1/2 Tsp. dry measure makes about 1 Tbsp. of quick cook
(not instant) organic plain oatmeal.
Add to this 1/4 plain lowfat organic yogurt
(Stonyfield or Green Valley yogurt), and mix well
Then add 1/4 Tsp. of naturally sweetened (no sugars added) organic applesauce, and mix well.
Then add the daily amount of calcium to the mixture 500 to 600 mg. calcium carbonate powder, and mix well.
Chill in the fridge; once chilled form 6 approx. equal scoops, using a 1/4 Teaspoon as a scoop for the mini ball out of the total mixture.
Chill again on a covered plate to set, and then till ready to feed.
In addition:
One drop of this organic vanilla extract also can add appeal to the oatmeal min balls.

Placing a drop of virgin coconut oil after the mixture is set, on each mini oatmeal balls, may add taste and scent appeal to the mixture.
This yogurt may also be available in a one serving about 5 oz. size.

Mini tubs of organic naturally sweetened applesauce are available in a 6 pack of little plastic tubs in the canned fruit section.
Should your squirrel refuse to eat the mixture, which isn't uncommon since MBD can effect the jaw making it painful to chew, then try adding the calcium to diluted organic yogurt with about half of 1/4 Tsp. of the naturally sweet organic unsweetened applesauce, pulling it up into a syringe to place a drop at a time onto the tongue right behind the incisors through the open space between the front and back teeth, just inside the lip, which will reach the tongue but not gag the squirrel. Makes sure it is swallowed before giving the next drop so that it doesn't go down the wrong way.
