We're first-timers here. Our squirrel is still completely bottle-fed on Fox Valley following the manufacturer's amounts and frequencies to the letter. For the past several weeks he's had constant access to Oxbow Mouse & Young Rat Garden Select blocks - but is completely uninterested in them. Should we be concerned?

We've never given him treats or anything else specifically to eat, since I read here that he should get accustomed to his rodent blocks before discovering more exciting foods. However, he does occasionally chew the bark on the willow branches we put in his cage for climbing and he also now and then apparently finds something to eat (or at least pick up and gnaw) on the surface of the potting soil in one of my houseplants. But he's never had access to anything else edible.

He weighs 330g and drinks 23 cc four times daily of the Fox Valley. His eyes opened 28 August, so that's why I estimate his age at about 10 weeks.

Thanks for the advice!
