Your little one is adorable.
Here's a great link to a Baby Squirrel Guide.
It's 6 pages long with the next button in the top right corner.

You will need to get him into a different container. Cardboard is very dehydrating.
They have a photo of a container on the link I posted.
As he gets bigger you can get something deeper, and larger until you
eventually put him in a cage.
Also if that is a heating pad in the box, that needs to be on the outside
set on low. Put it under only half of the container so he can crawl
off if he gets too warm.

That squirrel is definitely a lot more than 30 grams.
I think your scale is broken or not calibrated.
Weigh a quarter on it... it should come in at 5 or 6 grams.

An accurate gram scale is vital in raising a baby squirrel, both to measure their growth (to spot problems) and to calculate their feedings (to prevent diarrhea or malnutrition).

Calculating an antibiotics dose by that weight would have resulted in a very weak dose.
I suspect he was clicking from fluid in the nose.
And the reluctant to eat may have been because he got too much on the previous feeding, and got an upset tummy.
