What nutrient does a squirrel need?
, I am a vetranarian and I have been asked that question many of times. I have a simple answer to that question, the answer is they need at-least 10 acorns a day. That is for full grown squirrel's. But for young squirrels, you may think this is a wee-bit odd, but they need a quarter cup of applesause. These results are for pet squirrels. I do not know how many nutrients these are but they need this many! But remember squirrels should not be held against their will, and should be let go to the wild if they get over exited about your applesause. If you have any further questions on this topic, please e-mail me at dancergirly21@yahoo.com thank you and have a nice day!
