Henry's Healthy Blocks - Nutritionally Complete Food for Squirrels, Flying Squirrels, and Chipmunks, 11 Ounces

These blocks are a fantastic product made by a wonderful and caring small company! My wild squirrels love them, and these products are perfectly nutritionally balanced. I have been ordering them for several years now. I wanted to provide treats that contained the right nutrients in the correct amounts, especially for the pregnant/nursing moms, any who show up with injuries, or ones that may have a health issue. I also offer them walnuts, but a diet that is too high in nuts (even walnuts) can contribute to health problems. (This is especially the case for squirrels living in captivity -such as those being rehabilitated - but it can also be an issue for wilds if they eat so many nuts that they don't do enough natural foraging. ) I follow some Facebook groups that are moderated by licensed squirrel rehabilitators, and I have learned that many rehabbers feed their little patients these blocks, once they are weaning off of formula. I recommend you to put the bag in the freezer as soon as they arrive. Since they are a natural food product, and are baked fresh upon being ordered, this is important. I freeze the bag, then I take just a couple of them out each day and put them in a small ziplock baggie in my refrigerator. That way, I have a few blocks that are thawed by the time my furry little visitors show up. I have never had a squirrel refuse to eat these. They seem to really enjoy the taste; but, if you have difficulty getting a squirrel to try one, I have read that you can put a little smear of unsalted peanut butter or almond butter on them until the squirrel figures out how yummy these blocks are! :)

My furry freeloaders love these blocks!

See edit at bottom: I love giving my squirrel a block that is healthy and that practically ensures protection against metabolic bone disease. I used a combo of this and Oxbow Young Mouse and Rat block which is harder and helps wear down the teeth.I have only ordered twice, but have had two issues. The first is that there seemed to be a distinct difference in size of the block from the first bag to the second bag. The first bag had larger blocks where the second had smaller blocks. It wasn't a huge difference, but it was noticeable.The bigger issue is that the second bag didn't last as long. The first bag had no issues whatsoever. The second was fine until yesterday when I noticed that only halfway through the bag the rest of the blocks were moldy, despite beig refrigerated immediately upon arrival. Now I can't use the entire second half of the bag.The product is high quality and provides squirrels with necessary nutrients (please be careful with what you feed squirrels - at home or in the wild). But I am frustrated at the mold. I will continue to order because the benefits outweigh even the literal cost. I just wonder if it's rare for this to occur or not.—————-I edited my rating from 4-5 stars. I buy these every month. Shipping is incredibly fast. My eastern gray *loves* these blocks. I freeze them now, per instructions on the package. This helps prevent spoilage. I’ve been using these regularly and couldn’t imagine changing.Highly recommend.

Great food for squirrels, we have 2 squirrels and feed them 2 blocks a day each to keep them healty

Henry’s Healthy Blocks is an alternative nutritional everyday diet for your backyard friends! A product made specifically for a squirrel’s diet to ensure your squirrel grows up happy, healthy, and non-malnourished. This product is made specifically for picky eaters who refuse to eat alternative block food such as Mazuri Blocks and was recommended to me through multiple squirrel rehabilitation websites. I have had personal experience with this product for about the last 5 months. I have rehabilitated two southern grey squirrels and one southern flying squirrel. I transitioned all three of them off of formula by using Henry’s Healthy Blocks, they absolutely love them and are thriving. Although it may be a little expensive it is definitely worth the purchase. The blocks are cooked fresh and are you required to freeze immediately upon arrival for your animal’s health. I highly recommend this product for your squirrel baby’s.

I was skeptical purchasing this product because of the not knowing if my backyard squirrels would eat it and because of the expense. I want my critters to have more nutritional food than just peanuts, which I have decreased peanuts to just a small amount which I mix in with walnuts and shelled pumpkin seeds. Well, they love the blocks, and will grab them first. I keep them in the freezer and set a couple out to thaw a little before I put them out when I see the squirrels are out on my deck. I break them in 1/2 or thirds. That way I know they are eaten right away and not sitting out in the heat. I will DEFINITELY purchase again. And, I feel good that my little critters are getting something nutritional. :)

This is the right stuff! I have 2 orphan squirrels that are taking formula and need some soilds and nutrients. This is great they are eating it up and I probably gonna buy another bag. The 4 stars was for the price of this. Please cut the price down a bit. I have other squirrels in different trees with babies , these are good for her too.

My flying squirrel loves these. She gets two a day and snacks them right down. I have read where people have had these mold but I have not had that issue. I freeze mine upon receipt and pull out the portions every day.
