Just found baby

[RockyPops]

Found a baby on the ground this am. I was literally headed out the door to Nashville.
Baby is eyes open, fully furred. I’d say 5-6 weeks.
A little skinny but no visible injuries. Came to me eagerly.
So I brought her along. Got puppy replacement power.
Question, how much and how often to feed her?
North Alabama gray squirrel.

Little follow up. Hazel is doing good. Kinda iffy for a while. She’s eating her Esbilac puppy milk.
Had a decent poop earlier today and finally peed really good. I was getting worried!

Hazel update,

Bought a gram scale. Hazel weighs 120.5 grams. I believe she is 6 - 7 weeks old. Fully furred. Sleeps a lot. Has a great appetite. She's slurping down 7 to 9 cc's every 5 hours +-. Poops and pees without assistance. Pees after every meal.

I am back home now so I took her down to wild squirrel area where she was found last Monday. In a cage of course and sat her where she was found for about an hour and a half while I fed the locals. She didn't get any notice, not even a sniff from any of the gang. So, I am assuming something has happened to her mother. I cant reach the nest box she was under to see if there are any siblings.

So I guess it's me and Hazel as a team for a while!

Forgot to mention that little bit was constipated after starting Esbilac. So I started mixing her formula as directed but in the first 3 ml syringe I put 1.5 ml formula weakened with 1.5 ml water then added one tiny drop of Kayro syrup for taste and laxative effect. I feed her the doctored syringe first while she is hungry and two more 3ml syringes of normal formula after. It seems to be working. She's had a couple poops since starting this procedure and no loose stool so far either.
