Squirrel Watch: Day 7

This is going to be a short post because a) I’m pooped, and b) nothing especially notable happened today.

They hadn’t gained much weight since yesterday, so I’ve increased the concentration of their formula from 3-1 (3 parts water to 1 part powder) to 2-1. That means they’ll be getting more protein/fat/nutrients, etc. with each cc they drink.

I thought one of my girls might be getting a mild case of diarrhea (lots of stools, but still solid), but by the next feeding everything was fine. And my big guy whom I caught with the Tabasco around his mouth, indicating he had been sucking on one of his companions? He’s now become a suckee himself! But, thankfully, it seems to have slowed down/stopped during the course of the day. I’ll continue to keep an eye out, though, to make sure it doesn’t start up again.

Oh, and did I mention that I now know where the expression “squirrely” comes from? 🙂
