Hand raising a baby squirrel? The BASIC Baby Squirrel Nursing Set includes Specialty Milk Replacer, O-Ring syringes and Wonder nipples for feeding.
The Specialty Milk Replacer is a powdered formula that mixed with water to form a complete food source for orphaned or rejected baby animals, as well as pregnant females. Formulated to closely match mother's milk in protein, fat, and carbohydrates. Provides foundation of nutrients for strong development. Enriched with high-quality protein sources, vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids. Easily digestible and highly palatable. Produces better weight gain, fewer digestive problems, and better acceptance than other formulas.
The O-Ring Syringes are superior quality syringes designed for use with the Wonder Nipples. They can be used multiple times with proper cleaning and can be used with or without the silicone nipples. The perfect choice for hand feeding small neonate animals, dosing medication for oral use or used for injecting small amounts of medication.

Feeding Instructions for Milk Replacer: Warm the formula to 85 degrees F, test the temperature on your wrist, then feed using the included syringe/nipple. Offer one small drop at a time by placing it on the mouth, being careful not to squirt into the nostrils or down the throat. Feeding portions will vary by species and age, contact a licensed wildlife rehabber for more detailed information and instructions.
