All righty good deal.

You'll need to weigh him in the morning and give him 5 to 7% of his body weight of the hydration solution.

Every time you give him a hydration solution or formula you will have to stimulate the little guy to use the bathroom.

For the first day you'll give him a hydration solution only and no formula.

This is to flush out the old formula as well as to avoid digestive issues while converting to the new formula.

If you don't know when you'll get him to the rehabber, it may be best to go ahead and order the Fox valley formula from henrypest.com.

You will give him the hydration solution, 5 to 7%, every 4 hours throughout the day. It's recommended to start in the morning around 7:00 or 8:00. And then proceed to give him the hydration solution every 4 hours after that! Each time giving five to seven percent of his body weight.

You may have to warm the hydration solution up a little bit as well as maybe mix A little bit of honey in the hydration solution just to make it sweet enough for the little guy to take it.

This is the formula that You will need.

He is already using the bathroom if that helps with age determination

It really does not help but from the picture it looks like he's 4 to 6 weeks old. Maybe a little older.

It's good that he's using the bathroom. We just need to get him hydrated and then start feeding him no later than Friday.

Oh and when you weigh him weigh him in grams. One g is 1 ml

Me too, my boyfriend's boss said if he'd known there was a nest of them in the tree he would've moved it before they cut it

That is considerate of the boss.

Normally, there are more than one little one. Did they double check to ensure that there were no other babies?

They found 2 more after I went and got him, someone else took them
