Hi,

I have a ~7wk red squirrel. I have been taking care of her for exactly a month today and she is doing great!

She has been on Fox Valley formula and since last week she's also been nibbling at rodent block, a small mammal mineral stone, avocado, kale, twigs/leaves/bark from outside, and some nuts—but she is still getting the bulk of her food from the formula. I have a water bottle in her cage, but haven't had success yet teaching her to use it.

I'm unclear on the process of weaning her off formula entirely. Will she do this herself or do I need to start reducing the amount of formula I'm giving her? Is there a certain amount of solid food I should make sure she'd getting every day? When should she be off formula entirely?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

Thank you!
