You are right! I see it now.. you had asked about "his other girl" after the post of the "new arrival" (Himalayan) and my brain processed it as the new arrival was Sally. It gets confusing having multiple squirrels in the same thread with different issues (and in this case different species!!!)

I make the hernys blocks didnt eat them as solid..i grinded one and mix it with baby cream food and give her via syringe..
NOTE: i dont give her nuts and fruita anymore all that was there for not starving to death by no eating until i found a solution for rodent blocks.here in greece i cant find decent rotend blocks in stores there is a fu**ing law the prevents the stores to bring in greece so i collect the infos to make them my own and i start to give her all that time she doesnt eat 1 seed or 1 nut..i am trying my best to give her all she need to make her healthy...
I did see where you removed the seeds, nuts.
It's so difficult when you can't get the food in your country😕
Is she refusing to eat anything on her own?
Seeing her video she looks scared, but might have other issues as others have said.
You would think when she was left alone she would eat🤔
I think you already posted this but can you see if her teeth are ok? I know she let's you pick her up and syringe her, have you seen her teeth?
I'm just trying to think of anything that might help.
Again this might have been posted, what did they feed her at the pet store? I'm not saying what they fed her would be a good diet anyway, just wondering what she ate while in their care.

Doesnt eat anything by her own or drink water even the mix seed and fruit i put her until i made the blocks
Pet store gave mix seed nuts and fruits
I have post a pic of her teeth in the other tread i made for medicine advice if there is any
Now i desolve calcium in water with the baby cream food and give her plus plain water
Tried to give her tiny bites of the block but droped them from mouth
Only this morning i see the block in other place that i put it(not far away but a little moved
She also some times make a trembling with her mouth for like 3 secs
A video of this would be great but it almost sounds like you are describing their "chattering" behavior. When squirrels are scared or agitated they will quickly click their teeth together (their lower jaw moves quickly, as if trembling) and it can make a chattering noise (sometimes this is very loud, others times muted)... they are doing this as a warning. For example, if they are eating and your hand gets too close to them they may do this to warn to to back away from them and their food. Or even when you reach out to pet them and they are not welcoming to the petting. I get this a lot when i reach into their nests (cubbies) for a stash check. It often happens just before they bite...
Here is small video of feeding her
I am pushing very slightly
Am i doing this right?

I would try wrapping her up in a piece of cloth (fleece of flannel work best) like a burrito and hold her while feeding. Try covering her eyes with some of the cloth... this is what I do with juvenile squirrels that arrive with their eyes already open. It calms them down quite a bit and they relax and eat much better.
Yes, perfect and it helps them to relax to cover their eyes while feeding. This will help in the transition of her becoming more comfortable with her new surroundings and you as well.
