They are adorable. In the winter I leave unsalted peanuts for them.

My husband tried to make a squirrel proof feeder. It became a joke.

We all need a separate nest for the children.

A squirrel nest is called a drey.

FYI>>>> In Pennsylvania we have a lot of Black Squirrels, the Black Squirrel is Immune to Rattlesnake Venom! Toxoligist are trying to find out why. It's the only animal that is.

They could build more than three but I don't think they can count any higher.

squirrels = furry fluffy-tailed rodents.

Player Seizetheday, actually, I’ve read they store hundreds of acorns for winter and remember where over 85% of them are and they retrieve them.

Player en_846, love the little hot- air balloon comment, very clever!

Player #162237 Alexandra, We do the same here . And we have oak trees in our yard. They have a place to live and plenty to eat. Squirrels are wonderful creatures.
Mimi
Wish could set up nests like the squirrels!

Player #162237 Alexandra, city squirrels that eat only peanuts go blind. That’s because peanuts are not a true nut but a legume. SQ

Sharon , I raised a fox squirrel her name was Suzie. When she was small at first we kept her in the house until she started climbing Mom's curtains. Then Dad built her a pen she stayed in there at night and ran loose in the day. Then one day she just didn't come back, I think got in the family way. Many years ago still think of her.

Player #ussdefiant, a coyote could never catch a squirrel. the best predators for controlling squirrel populations are raptors like owls, hawks and eagles.

My dad tried to keep squirrels out of our walnut tree. Kept adding more aluminum sheets around the trunk. Ended up just training them to jump higher. He'd strategically prune it too. They just become more inventive. Soon they'd catapult in from the top of an evergreen, or swing off the telephone wire, or the neighbour's roof. He finally gave up when they started using little hot-air balloons.
mr puppy
ambiguous question. How many nests per season, per lifetime, over what period of time?

Player #31796263, happened to my beloved Miata😪

Well this is wrong on two counts! A female squirrel usually has four or five in addition to her main nest, and it has nothing to do with each one having a different purpose. They move, with their young, whenever they feel a nest is not safe.

I hand reared a grey squirrel from a couple days old after his mum dropped him and didn't return. Fascinating watching him grow. I thought he'd be like the pet rats I keep, but I learned they're quite different. I lost him last summer when he was nearly 5, miss him terribly.
Tegs
One of fave animals. Wish I could have a pet squirrel!!

ezasjel, I have that problem in AZ. only desert rats and it has cost me thousands of dollars. It is a mess!!
Player #31796263
ezasjel, this also happens with rats ... they will chew every wire under a car hood and if they manage to get inside, your car will be unusable

there used to be squirrels where I live until the City of Half Moon Bay, Calif. allowed a rock crushing & soils screening of toxic waste dump in the pristine hilltops & pond.
Pay off at its best..
