If you’re caring for a baby squirrel, look for a small‑animal or wildlife‑specific milk replacer rather than household substitutes. Labels that indicate use for small mammals can help you narrow the field.

• Choose a product designed for small animals; avoid general dairy substitutes.
• Powdered formulas let you mix fresh each feeding; follow the package directions.
• Pair with a small animal nurser bottle for better control.
• Review the feeding guide and storage instructions on the label.
• Order online and select pickup or delivery for faster access.

Nutritional needs vary by age and condition, so results can differ. When in doubt, consider contacting a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for species‑specific guidance.

It’s natural to want to help fast. Until you can get a small‑animal milk replacer, it’s safer to avoid improvised substitutes (like cow’s milk or human infant formula), which may not be appropriate for wildlife.

• Keep the baby warm and minimize handling.
• Shop Walmart online for a small‑animal milk replacer and a nurser bottle; choose pickup or delivery.
• Read the package’s mixing and feeding directions before the first feeding.
• Reach out to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for care guidance.

Feeding amounts and frequency depend on age and condition. Using product instructions and professional advice can help you make safer, more informed choices.

You can find milk replacer options for small animals on Walmart.com in the Pets section.

• Search for “small animal milk replacer.”
• Use filters for Pickup, Delivery, or Shipping based on your timing.
• Check product details for small‑animal or wildlife suitability and read mixing directions.
• Add a small animal nurser bottle if you don’t have feeding supplies.
• Review ratings and Q&A for practical tips from other customers.

Inventory can vary by location, so online availability is the most current. After purchase, follow the package’s feeding and storage guidance to help support safe use.

DIY recipes can be inconsistent and may not provide the balance a growing squirrel needs. For safety and consistency, a commercially formulated small‑animal milk replacer is generally a better choice than homemade mixtures.

• Choose a product labeled for small mammals or wildlife.
• Mix exactly as directed and prepare small batches.
• Use a small animal nurser bottle for controlled feeding.
• Contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator if you’re unsure about feeding.
• Order online with pickup or delivery to get supplies quickly.

Every situation is different, and outcomes can vary. Rely on product instructions for mixing and feeding rather than improvising ingredients.

Milk products designed for cats or dogs are formulated for those species and may not align with the needs of wildlife like squirrels. When choosing a replacement, species‑appropriate options are the safer route.

• Check labels for a small‑animal or wildlife designation.
• Opt for a small‑animal milk replacer and follow the package guide.
• Feed with a small animal nurser bottle for better flow control.
• Consider consulting a licensed wildlife rehabilitator for species‑specific advice.
• Use Walmart’s pickup or delivery options if you need supplies quickly.

Needs vary by age and condition, so supplement label directions with professional guidance when possible.
