Description

Ideal for Eastern cottontails, opossums and baby squirrels from 2 weeks to 4 weeks of age.

Fox Valley Formula 32/40 is a rehabber-approved powdered milk formula that produces better weight gain, fewer digestive problems, and better acceptance than most other formulas. Fox Valley Formula 32/40 mixes easily, smells wonderful, and there is no need to supplement the formula with any added cream, yogurt, or probiotics.

For feeding babies under 2 weeks old, or for babies having trouble tolerating commercial formulas in general, you may also use the Homemade Goat Milk Formula from the recipe available in our Baby Squirrel Care Guide

Also recommended for species with similar milk compositions, such as woodchucks and badgers.

About Fox Valley

Henry’s is the largest distributor of Fox Valley Animal Nutrition, a leading manufacturer of milk-replacement formulas for orphaned animals. Fox Valley uses only high-quality human-grade ingredients to create formulas that closely match the specific composition of the mother’s milk to ensure proper nutrition and growth.

Mixing and Storage Guidelines

Mix 1 part powder to 2 parts warm water and feed 4 to 6 times a day. To determine the correct feeding amount, see guidelines below or visit the Baby Squirrel Care Guide

  • Add powder to warm water (approximately 100°F or 37.7°C). 
  • Blend until powder is evenly mixed. A blender bottle helps.
  • Place in refrigerator for approximately 8 hours to fully reconstitute. If you need to feed right away, just let the formula rest for 20 minutes first.
  • Mixing directions are based on volume, not weight measurements.
  • Store any leftover formula in refrigerator and discard after 24 hours. 

Unused formula powder should be stored in a cool, dry place, preferably the refrigerator, and is good until the expiration date printed on the label.

Feeding

For Opossums

Feed 1 1/2-2 teaspoons per ounce bodyweight daily, divided into 6 to 8 feedings. At about 45 grams body weight, gradually switch to  Fox Valley Formula 25/30. To determine the correct feeding amount, seek advice from an experienced wildlife rehabilitator.

For Eastern Cottontails

Feed 1-1 1/2 teaspoons per one ounce bodyweight daily, divided into 2 to 4 feedings.

For Squirrels

Weigh the baby on a scale in grams; multiply that number by 5% (0.05) to determine the number of mL’s (or cc's--they are the same) to feed. You may need to start with smaller feedings and work up to 5% after a few feedings. Feedings will be every 4-6 hours, depending on the age of the baby. Once the baby is eating well and able to digest 5% quickly, you can move up to feeding them 7% of bodyweight at each feeding. Please review the Baby Squirrel Care Guide or call a rehabber for advice on caring for young orphaned squirrels.

At 4-5 weeks of age, gradually switch to Fox Valley Formula 20/50. To determine the correct feeding amounts, seek advice from an experienced wildlife rehabilitator.

Best I’ve found!

I’ve been using Fox Valley products primarily for a while now and can’t say enough good things about it. More importantly I’ve been using Henry’s Pets site as a Rehabber told me about them years ago and they never fail to not disappoint. Communication and shipping times are paramount when needing products and they do that beautifully. When also starting out, I had many concerns and questions and they were there to help out and advise. Thank you.

Excellent Serivice

Henry's offers an array of excellent products for squirrel rehabilitators. My squirrels and groundhogs are particular fans of the "block", especially picky block! This amazing product offer excellent nutritional benefits and (apparently) it's delicious because they can't get enough of it!

Helps our rabbits

We use Day-One Formula 32/40 to supplement our larger litters (8 or more) of Flemish Giants when we feel some might not get a full feeding. Works well in our opinion.

Baby Critters

I used Day-One Formula 32/40 last year for a cottontail rabbit that was three days old and she thrived. This year I had four baby possums and it worded great for them too. I can make a homemade formula but this is so much easier and also I can make it fresh and with warm water at each feeding. I would recommend it to anyone who has to rehab baby mammals.

I bought this as a donation to a local wildlife refuge. This brand and product was specifically requested, they use it exclusively for many of their rescued baby critters. In their thank you email they said this is by far the best brand / formulation and their vet recommends it highly.
