A recipe for homemade snacks for squirrels from a lady who raised her pet squirrel on them. I use as they are economical to make and store well in the freezer.  I also feed straight rodent blocks too. Calcium is so important in squirrel diets.
Ingredients:
50 grams (1 part) rodent block (crushed to a fine  powder) I use Mazuri - I buy in 50# bags.
50 grams (1 part) powdered Fox Valley squirrel  formula. I use what I have on hand
50 grams (1 part) crushed nuts. I NEVER use  peanuts.
3 capsules of Multidolphilus.
20 grams "organic" coconut oil (melted)
1 jar (approximately 100 grams) of Earth's Best Organic baby  food fruit (I use apples and plums)
Directions for  mixing:
Mix dry  ingredients together well (including the multidolphilus  powder from inside the  capsules).
Mix organic baby food fruit in to your dry ingredients until  well blended. It will seem very wet.
Mix coconut  oil into the mixture  until well blended.

Put in the refrigerator for 5  hours (Overnight is  even better). This lets it set up. It softens/moistens the
rodent block and  dissolves the FV.
Once you are ready to serve it take  out about a 1/2 tsp  (5 grams) of the mixture and roll is in your hands but not
so much that it will  melt the coconut oil. Give it to your squirrel.
I feed two of these a  day. One in the morning and one in the evening. Between these two feeding I give  them their assorted fresh vegetables (broccoli,  cauliflower, avocado, field  greens, red bell pepper, cooked sweet potato,  cucumber, zucchini, grape  tomatoes, occasionally a piece of a baby carrot ...  the list of veggies can go  on and on and on.
