Sunny and our squirrel...Friends or Foes?


Here is our little squirrel (well he?she? is getting fat from all the food we give it), our squirrel comes to our door and takes food from our hand. Sunny and Chloe love to watch the squirrel. This time, I only got Sunny in the pictures.
Enjoy!

Re: Sunny and our squirrel...Friends or Foes?


Yes, my blood pressure must have shot up! I am notorious on here for my deep intense loathing of the tree rats!!! They may look cute, but they are the Devil in disguise....they dig up bulbs and plants as soon as you put them in, they uproot plants in pots and bury their acorns there, they are covered in fleas, they devour the birdseed and they steal the tomatoes right off the vines just when you were about to enjoy them.... if it were legal I would feed them too....rat poison!!

I guess you get the impression that I do not care for squirrels....

Well I wouldn't feed them rat poison, however I do agree with everything else that DM says. It's just a rat in a fur coat. They are vermin.

Thank you, Smudgley!!! Vermin indeed; what a shame some idiot introduced the Eastern Grey squirrel to the UK!! Your reds aren't anywhere as destructive, and now they're endangered....(rant over!!)

Re: Sunny and our squirrel...Friends or Foes?


Well...this squirrel seems to be the only one coming to our door so it is quite the amusement of the day for us. There is another squirrel that he/she "hangs out with" but that one never comes to our door. It is just nice to have nature right at your door. They are wild and some of them seem to be a little smarter than others. But, this squirrel is a little devil and she is smart. We used to have a screen door and once we stopped feeding her, she chewed it and made holes and broke the screen door basically. So, yes, you can call them pests. But, if she would of brought more along, then yes, I would be annoyed and angry and might consider feeding them something else.... jk...kinda...

Re: Sunny and our squirrel...Friends or Foes?


They chew through wood also; both my neighbor and I had squirrels gnaw holes thru the soffit boards on the porch so they could nest under the porch roof!! Expensive to fix! I should add that I live in an area only a few blocks from the woods, and the entire neighborhood is infested with them...my neighbor hired a trapper to relocate hers, and within weeks others had moved in! I know I'm kind of fanatic on this subject, and didn't mean to turn your pics into an anti-squirrel post...sorry ..
