Fox Valley Day ONE 32/40 Formula for Squirrels, Rabbits and Opossums, 16 Ounces

Wonderful product. Didn't make orphaned rabbit sick. His family was killed by a weed eater. He was given to me to care for. He loved this milk. I fed him only twice a day as a momma rabbit would. I didn't over feed him. Offered greens and rabbit food, water from puddles, never fresh water because they won't have it in the wild. Going from fresh water to dirty water would kill him. He needs the organisms in wild water from puddles, creeks, ponds etc. I was able to release him back to the wild. This milk worked great. I only handled him to feed milk so he'd stay wild.

The media could not be loaded. I do wildlife rehab and this is the ONLY formula I buy. I do squirrels, and cottontails mostly, but in the past Ive saved raccoons and opossums too using this formula.I just took this video of my latest baby cottontail drinking his bottle. Look at how happy he is!! He is literally so excited that he cant contain his energy. I was brought this baby when he was just a day old, eyes closed teeny tiny. At first he didnt eat like this - I had to give him a drop at a time as he fought me and sort of lapped it up. They spill a lot at first bc they dont know how to suck, and they want their mom.. but stick with it and they will learn how to nurse after about a week.If you know anything about cottontail rehab then you know they have a 1/10 chance to make it. I specialize in bunnies so I have about a 9.5/10 survival rate. Ive rescued around 50 of these guys over the years, and have only lost maybe 1 - AND I have ONLY ever used this Fox Valley formula.You just add warm filtered water to formula 2 to 1, and use one of those hand held battery powered blender tools in a coffee cup. The formula lasts in the fridge 24 hours with aluminum foil over the top. I just pour small amounts into a new cup and warm that up separately for every feeding. (You never warm it up and put it back in the fridge, so just warm enough for that feeding). You can also buy the syringes and nipples from their website too. Fox Valley is the only company I ever use.

Best thing to feed baby raccoons. Have had very good results with this product.

Wonderful product. I found an orphaned joey on my porch and he wasn't looking good. He had more fleas than I can describe and they were bigger than him. He was very dehydrated as well. I'd estimate he is just about 8 weeks so while he can eat a little, he needed real nourishment.As soon as I received my delivery I made a batch and it was the first time Stanly had lapped intentionally so I had a lot of relief.I tend to get several orphan possums in April and the rehaber is a long drive so I was holding out for another one that my husband spotted but nothing yet so Stanly is on his way to be with his own kind tomorrow and we are both grateful. Thank you!

Great for the orphaned opossums I’m raising. They lap it right up and I soften their kibble in it. They will be released soon.

All 6 baby bunnies drank this right up. Using a double boiler on the stove seems to help them want to eat it more. The heat makes the milk smoother. Only get it to a little hotter than your skin like a human baby. Don't want to cook the nutrients out of the milk. Pairs very well with the miracle nipple. You need the small nipple but the 3ml syringes. Not the 1 ml syringe. At 2.5 weeks orphaned...they needed more milk and refilling a syringe 16 times is quite the task! Especially if you have to do it x6!

So far, so good. Tiny orphaned squirrel pup took right to this formula. Easy to mix. We will see how he thrives on the formula in the weeks ahead.

Per pro rehab facilities, very young opossum orphans should be on goat milk only - not cow. The expensive bag of powder I received from Fox Valley doesn’t specify the type of milk products used.The poor orphaned baby opossum I took into my care was found on his deceased momma who was decomposing, with 1 other survivor plus 3 dead litter mates .His sister was very weak & died within 24 hrs. But this little 3” guy rallied on diluted goats milk & applesauce while I awaited my above order (no local stores had suitable opossum replacer).He was wobbly but went from bottle to sloppy lapping in no time. At feeding time he was alert, active, hissing, & climbing all over my hand. He was peeing & pooping. He slept peacefully. I had hope! Yesterday this replacement product arrived to my relief. I mixed it per instructions but also blended in the goats milk & applesauce mix so it wouldn’t be a sudden diet change to his delicate system. Within 8 hours of using this product he began failing. Within 10 hours he died.My mistake was assuming the milk ingredient was goat milk. But since it’s ambiguously listed (no animal source referenced) I can only assume it was a milk product too harsh for “my” tiny Joey.The entire situation from the trapped momma dying in her nest with 3 babies (sealed under a house) , & the tiny brother & sister still holding on was a heartbreak.But to have hope for the little one wiped out after starting him on the “proper” formula was frustrating & tearful.I’m kicking myself for not continuing with what was working.The single star is needed for a review. But also for the Fox Valley not being specific about the milk source used for its product. Maybe an older baby can handle it, but not a very young opossum.
