Henry’s exclusive Squirrel Weaning Kit provides everything you need to care for an older orphaned squirrel from 4 weeks to weaning age (16 weeks). Squirrels start eating solid foods around 6 weeks of age.
The Weaning Kit includes:
Note: Crossed-out prices reflect your cost if items are purchased separately!
The Squirrel Weaning Guide comes in every kit (also available online) and helps you determine the age and condition of the squirrel. In addition to a shopping list of emergency items you can buy locally while waiting for your kit. The Guide also includes a list of common medical issues to look out for, especially when dealing with orphaned babies who are almost always malnourished and dehydrated. The Weaning Guide explains how to introduce a variety of healthy foods so that picky squirrels receive all the nutrition they need.
Fox Valley 20/50 Formula provides squirrels the nutrition they need from 4 weeks of age through weaning. This rehabber-approved powdered milk formula produces better weight gain, fewer digestive problems, and better acceptance than other formulas. Fox Valley Formula 20/50 mixes easily, smells wonderful, and there is no need to supplement the formula with any added cream, yogurt, or probiotics.
Fox Valley uses only high-quality human-grade ingredients to create milk replacers that closely match the specific composition of the mother’s milk, ensuring proper nutrition and growth.
The kit contains three 3 mL & three 5 mL CODAN O-Ring Syringes. Squirrels must be fed with a syringe so that you can control the flow of formula and keep them from eating too quickly or becoming aspirated on the formula. These syringes have a silicone O-ring that makes it easy to smoothly control the flow and avoid suddenly forcing too much formula into the baby’s mouth and choking them.
You will also receive 2 Easy-Grip Nipples. Made with food-grade silicone, Easy-Grip Nipples are specially designed for squirrels, with a large kneading pad for their paws to grip onto. They are odorless, sanitary, and more durable than latex nipples. The nipples are clear, so you can monitor the flow of formula and easily check to see if they are properly cleaned.
Squirrels are famously picky eaters, so it’s vital they learn to like healthy foods from the beginning. Henry’s Healthy Blocks should be the first solid foods they are introduced to. The only natural supplement made especially for a squirrel’s diet with 100% of the vitamins and minerals they need to help prevent common diseases like Metabolic Bone Disease, while promoting bone and organ health. Unlike other rodent or pet foods that are dry and flavorless, Henry’s Blocks are baked fresh daily with only 100% natural ingredients and no preservatives, fillers, or artificial sweeteners.
