What a beautiful baby!
I'm not familiar with ground squirrels but there will be someone here that can help. So keep checking back.
What's her diet like? (formula)
Grey squirrels eyes open at about 5 weeks. That will probably get you pretty close.
Might try a deer antler from pet stores for a calcium supplement chew toy.
Thank you! Right now she is on the temp goat recipe until my order of Fox Valley 20/50 and high protein blocks get here on Tuesday. I have an antler I haven’t given to my dogs. I’ll put it in her cage. I appreciate your help!

Are all your ground squirrels blond?
And again with grays, once their eyes are open you can introduce rodent blocks. They mostly just crumble them up but with time will get it down pat. Keep your baby on the fv until she weans though. Formula first I think, blocks second and veggies a little later.
She is a desert ground squirrel. My family went out to Ocatillo to get away from the crowds. We found her there. Where I live the ground squirrels are a brownish grey and way bigger. I ordered the blocks a couple days ago with the fv so hopefully they will be here on Tuesday.
