I presume he is an outside that you take care of. I've been feeding one since May of 2022. He was banged up last winter and did use the tote we set up for him (which we've "improved" for this winter). PetAg makes high calorie gel as well as vitamin and mineral gel. Gave him the vitamin and mineral gel last winter (he did use his tote). He wasn't looking good this summer, thought he wouldn't make it. He's a tough one however and looks pretty good now. I've been giving him the high cal gel since November with the occasional shot of vitamin/mineral gel. We're finally going to get snow and colder weather so I hope he makes use of his tote. It is insulated and surrounded by straw bales (except for the entry way). I'd love to TNR but he's savvy plus I need a smaller live trap so he doesn't injure himself. And come nicer weather (read: no earlier than May). Thank you for looking out for him.
