Hello. My baby squirrel will soon be @9-10 weeks old based on my estimation and 275gr . Have had her for almost 3 weeks. Time is flying, so I’m trying to make sure I’m following the right protocol in the next few weeks with her going thru the pre-release stage and then the actual release. She’s eating formula still, in the morning and in the evening @18cc/ feeding... getting a HHB block mid morning and one late evening...And veggies during the day (shredded cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, red cabbage, zucchini, green beans and cucumber from time to time. Small piece of fruit every other day (So far tried apple, strawberry, banana, blueberries and plan on trying apricots and mango). I currently have her in a 3 level ferret cage/ had her confined in the upper level as we’ve been treating a belly abscess but she’s recently started to have access to the full cage and she loves it. She’s very energetic, climbs and plays a lot, so I ordered a larger 6 level cage that should be arriving soon. I’ve been taking her cage outside during the day on the nicer days, we’re finally starting to have good weather in Chicago. I’m wondering what are the correct pre-release and then release steps from here on. When is the right time to start keeping her cage outside 24/7, and then when does the pre-release stage start when we gotta start having very little interaction ? I know that time has not come just yet, since I’m still feeding her formula and I know I have to wait at least until she’s 14-16 weeks old before she can be fully released, but being a first time squirrel mom I want to make sure I’m doing the right things for her so that she has a good chance once she’s released. So I’m trying to plan my next steps from here on. Attaching also a pic from when she was found and a current one.
