Safe Emergency TEMPORARY FORMULA for Finders**************

EMERGENCY TEMPORARY FORMULA

An in-depth discussion at the Gathering of Nuts 2020 resulted in the selection of this homemade temporary formula below. This formula can be recommended to finders who come here looking for help because they must feed the baby they found, while looking for a rehabber to take it. This is NOT recommended as a permanent formula for long-term use by rehabbers; we have all pretty much figured out what we're going to feed this year. This is for that person who can't get the baby to a rehabber immediately and needs to offer nourishment. No time for ordering Fox Valley, Zoologic or anything else -- this can be bought at a grocery store.
___________________________________
*3 tablespoons goat's milk. Powdered or liquid.
Conveniently, most ice trays are 1 tablespoon each; powdered can be mixed per instructions and then frozen into cubes for future use.

*3 tablespoons ANY plain yogurt

*2 tablespoons HWC (heavy whipping cream)

*1/2 egg yolk

Again, this is not a permanent formula substitute for rehabbers or those with NR squirrels. It's what we can recommend to those first responders who MUST feed the baby.

Questions and comments are welcome, of course!!
