FEEDING INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEWBORN SQUIRRELS, RABBITS, PUPPIES, & KITTENS For baby squirrels: Use a syringe with a rubber nipple. Esbilac Milk Replacer for puppies or kittens can be used as formula. Mix and handle the formula as follows: 2 parts of water to 1 part of Esbilac Powder, and 1/4 part of non- sweetened condensed milk. Mix in a small jar what you think you will use in 2 to 3 days. Refrigerate mixture and the powder, too. Warm only what you will need each feeding to a little better than room temperature. The baby should be fed every 2 to 3 hours. For baby rabbits: Use a syringe with a rubber nipple. Much the same as with neonatal squirrels, with baby rabbits, the formula recipe is 2 parts water to 1 part Esbilac Milk Replacer to ¼ part non-sweetened condensed milk in a 3 cc syringe. Powder and mixture should be refrigerated. The baby should be fed every 2 to 3 hours. For puppies: Gently stir or shake one part powdered Esbilac Milk Replacer into two parts warm water. Warm reconstituted Esbilac to room or body temperature before serving. Feed puppies 2 tablespoons (30mL) of liquid Esbilac per 4 oz. (115g) of body weight daily. Young and/or weak puppies should be fed every 3 to 4 hours. Older puppies can do well being fed every 8 hours. Unopened powder should be stored in a cool, dry place. Reconstituted Esbilac must be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Opened powder can be refrigerated for up to 3 months, or can be frozen for up to 6 months to preserve freshness.
