Henry's Fox Valley Day-One 20/50 Squirrel Milk Replacer, 1 lb — easy-mix, gentle digestion

Henry's Fox Valley Day-One 20/50 is a powdered milk replacer formulated to closely match squirrel maternal milk for reliable early growth and easier digestion.

If you care for orphaned or rehabilitated baby squirrels, choosing a milk replacer that mirrors natural nutrients and mixes reliably matters. This 1 lb. Henry's Fox Valley Day-One 20/50 formula is rehabber-approved for producing consistent weight gain, reducing digestive upsets, and being well accepted by neonates compared with many generic options. It’s easy to mix, has a pleasant scent, and is designed to support proper nutritional development when maternal milk isn’t available.

How do I prepare and feed this powdered formula safely?

Mixing is straightforward: follow the package directions precisely to reach the correct concentration and temperature. Use clean equipment, measure accurately, and feed with the appropriate syringe or small nursing bottle for the pup’s age and size.

• Measure powder and water per package instructions for Day-One concentration.
• Warm to a lukewarm temperature and test on your wrist before feeding.
• Use sterile feeding tools and discard any leftover formula after a feeding session.
• Feed small, frequent meals according to the animal-care guidelines for neonatal squirrels.

What performance benefits can I expect compared to other formulas?

This formula is reported by rehabilitators to encourage steadier weight gain and fewer digestive disturbances than many competitor powders. Its nutrient balance closely resembles mother’s milk, which helps acceptance and promotes consistent growth during the critical early days.

• Designed for improved acceptance by baby squirrels.
• Formulation aims to minimize common digestive issues like loose stools.
• Supports steady weight gain when fed correctly and monitored.

How much product do I need and are there larger sizes available?

The listing is for a 1 lb. container, ideal for short-term or small-scale care. If you need more supply, Henry's offers larger options; check item B0917TLBL5 for a 3.5 lb size that includes an additional 1/2 lb free in that package configuration.

• 1 lb. is suitable for trial use or single-animal care.
• Larger 3.5 lb. options available for multi-animal or extended rehabilitation.
• Buying larger packs can reduce the frequency of reordering and save on cost per feeding.

Is this suitable for all ages and species of small mammals?

Fox Valley Day-One 20/50 is tailored for neonatal squirrels and other small wildlife with similar nutritional needs; it’s not a universal mammal formula. Consult species-specific care guides or a wildlife rehabilitator for feeding schedules and any required dietary adjustments as animals grow.

• Best for newborn and very young squirrels requiring maternal-milk-like nutrients.
• May be used for similar-sized wild neonates when recommended by a rehabber.
• Older juveniles usually transition to age-appropriate diets as they mature.

Who is this for: Henry's Fox Valley Day-One 20/50 is aimed at wildlife rehabilitators, veterinarians, and experienced caregivers who need a dependable powdered milk replacer for orphaned or hand-reared baby squirrels. If you’re managing neonatal feeds, tracking weight, and following established care protocols, this formula gives a practical, rehabber-approved option that balances acceptance, digestibility, and nutritional similarity to maternal milk.
