Remember to replace moistened food within 12 hours and dry food within 24 hours, and always ensure clean, fresh drinking water is available.

• Do not leave moistened food in the cage for more than 12 hours; dry food should be refreshed within 24 hours.
• Pair with water, and consider supplements like Squirrel-Cal and Squirrel Booster if desired.

Storage and versatility

The diet is designed with longevity in mind, offering a long shelf life when stored properly, including freezing for up to 12 months. It’s suitable for a range of species, including Ground Squirrels, Grey Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, and Chipmunks, making it a versatile staple for mixed habitats.

Transition plan
