The dietary needs of infant squirrels require meticulous attention to ensure proper development and survival. Providing appropriate nourishment substitutes the essential nutrition typically received from the mother squirrel’s milk.
Meeting the specific nutritional requirements of a young squirrel is crucial for its growth, bone density, and overall health. Failure to do so can result in severe health problems, including metabolic bone disease, which can be fatal. Supplying a balanced formula mimics the composition of natural squirrel milk, thereby aiding in optimal growth and development.
