Diet- Baby squirrels nurse on their mother until about 4 months of age. Babies do not get back teeth until around 8-10 weeks of age. At around 5 weeks the eyes open. A few days after the eyes open is the time to start putting some solid food into the incubator for them to start "teething" on. There is no need to wean them on mush, etc.. Any Cheerio type round oat cereal is a good first item for babies to chew on. Also whole grain breads are good. Usually after being fed formula, when put back into the incubator, babies go straight for a piece of Cheerio and start chewing. Notice that there will be lots of crumbs. They are just working their teeth. Only when the baby is around 8 weeks do they actual start ingesting the solid food. For a complete list on proper solid foods, see Proper Diet . As a source of calcium, a cleaned beef bone or deer antler should put in cage to chew on. Make sure to get all traces of meat off the bone. Here is a list of foods they CAN and CAN NOT eat: they can eat: Purina- Regular dog chow
