:Someone just dropped this off at the doorstep of the shop we work at. I would like to try to raise him to the point of release. He is 4 weeks old. And nursed once, about to again. I am feeding every 4 hours with "mothers helper" from a bottle. I have him set up right now in a 10 gallon tank(not his permanent home) with carefresh for the bedding. Some pillowcases to sleep in. An undertank heater under him. And a basking light set at about 83 degrees on a thermostat. I am lucky enough to work at a store that carries many things I need. I have some monkey chow for him when he gets old enough. 6 weeks I understand. I was wondering if there was anything I was missing? I do understand the "defecation methods" How ofter should I do this? And does anyone know Michigans laws on keeping fox squirrels?
:Thank you,
