    Can 7 week old squirrels have mazuri mouse and rat blocks? I see several saying to give mazuri blocks but the only ones I’m finding in that brand say “rat and mouse diet”

    Yes, that is the Mazuri block you select. They don’t make squirrel specific blocks. Squirrels are rodents just like rats and mice so their nutritional needs are similar.

    This would be a first solid food as a 7 week old would still be primarily on formula.

    Thank you! They still get 5/6 ml of formula 5 times a day . They just act starving after their feedings so I figured I could offer them the blocks or some of type of foods in between feedings.

    How much do they weigh? 5-6 mL sounds a little low.

    You Need to weight them in Grams than multiply that number by .05 or .07 and what ever number you come up with is how much in ml/cc you should be feeding them each feeding . I have two 7 week old now and mine are eating 12 to 17 cc . This is why they are acting so hungry . Please do this ASAP .
