National Flying Squirrel Association Messageboards

I put a pinch of rep-cal in there water two or three times a week. They get all of the D they need this way. They do not like the liquid.

I make my cages. When I travel by car I take it apart and make it half size. I then get a motel room that I can park in front of the door. They are roughly 12” x 24” x 24”. I can also take it completely apart and pack it in a suit case if need.

I have only had one out of five go into molt. After the molting is over he will be in the top spot of the beauty contest. Now this gives you something to look forward to. Till later, Max

My first little girl would do this to me also. At first I started cupping her on my chest and lift her tail, she would loose control and pee. This would make her so mad she would just shred the shirt or towel. It has been said that they also pee when they have been disturbed my people studying them ...

I am in North Augusta, I may be able to help you find a vet. max

Seems to me that if he took formula that long he was more like 8 or 9 weeks old when you got him. All of my fur balls where about that age when I got them except for Beabea (#1), it took longer in the bonding process for her. I let her mother wean her. All four of the others bonded almost on the spo...

In Fallbrook they have a park called LIVE OAK PARK the acorns are about an inch or so long and shaped like a pencil. I brought some back to SC a couple of years ago. I go there to see my grandkids every Thanksgiving. It's a little late and they were sprouting when I got back so try about the model o...

I just planted 14 Double Knockout Roses and all three of my owners get a rose bud every other night. These roses bloom from March until the first frost. The KIDS love them.

I look forward to this pretty and spoiled little "GIRL SQUIRREL"!!

Well I’m now back in SC with this little boy and he is still putting up a good fight. :multi: I got him back Thursday and didn’t do much him for the first 48 hours except let him adjust to the move back. He was responding to my voice before I went to Ca so I just talked to him, did a little humming,...

Have a heart, don’t neuter him!!!!! I you find a vet to operate on the little guy, go for a vasectomy and let him enjoy life more.  No kidding I think you are all missing a very important fact, does he have his “jewels” yet? Without them It as Joan says, it’s just the way they play.

This is to update all of you on the fight this little fellow is putting up to get better. I will first give him a [tempo.] name of “Susan’s baby boy”. I drove to Ca for Thanksgiving with my grandkids and will be here until med Dec. I didn’t feel the trip would be good for him so a friend with 25 plu...

Nov.3rd update This little fellow is a true fighter if I ever saw one. This is his 5th day with me and he is recovering more and more each time I feed him. Yesterday, after feeding him, he sat on my chest and started to groom himself as if to tell me that I am a sloppy milk provider. He still has so...

I'm pretty sure it is a boy. He did not like the diluted milk at all so I'm going to the real man stuff for this little fighter his next feeding. He seems to be getting stronger each time I feed him. I think tomorrow I will start the bonding more. He looks like he had don a good with his grooming an...

I have an injured flyer that appears to be about 5 weeks old. It was bought in by a small dog and placed in its master’s bed two days ago. Its left eye was closed and appeared to have a head injury. It was unable to control its body movements and kept rolling over on its right side on to his back bu...

Now here is one that I’ll bet most of you have never even thought of much less experienced. What would do if your little fur ball got into a fly catcher???? Last Friday night about 11:30 PM I went into my kitchen to prepare Sweet Pea’s food and water. She was riding on my shoulder; we were in the ce...

Okay on the green acorns, so now maybe I can stop feeling so guilty for feeding them to her. But that means I now have to go back two years and try to think of what killed her. The only other thing I can think of is I was giving her 3 or 4 wax worms each night. This house was new when I moved in and...

Lora- The main thing I remember is tha tshe was licking her hands. The night she first showed there was something was out of order she was on the floor of her cage, making a noise I had never heard from her. My hearing is bad so she was pretty loud for me to hear. That's all I can think of at the mo...

If they are not poison then I have to go back in her life and find the reasion I lost her. If anyone finds out for sure please let me know. A doctor said when I told him what she was doing that it like poison to him. The acorns were Scrug oak also.

It seems that this is the day for me to add my two cents. I had my little boy for only 9 months and it was vrey much like your's. I "squirrel proofed" my house. Well most of it anyway. He would stick to me like glue untill I sat down to watch TV, then he would run and play but kept me in s...

DO NOT LET YOUR SQUIRREL EAT THEM (GREEN ACORNS) !!!!!!!!! THINK THAT IS WHAT KILLED MY PET OF 4 and a half years' I read ths in a reserch report but have been unable to find it again. It said that they are POISON, and my little pet loved them also. Please don't take the chance!!!! Max- in SC

I am happy to report that my little girl now has a WHITE tummy.
with good TLC she started to repair the hair loss after about 1 week. It has now been two week and you can hardly tell where the loss was. thank you for your help. max

I am happy to say that I now have a new owner, a girl about 7-8 weeks old. The person who arranged this had raised her from a pup 3-4 days old. She had a sibling, that died suddenly at about 6 weeks or so. The remaining squirrel which I now have has complete hair loss from under the chin all the way...
