You are actually quite incorrect Jez. Squirrels are very clean and disease-free animal. They are not a carrier of rabies. I've done a lot of research on squirrels. The only thing you have to ever be concerned with is their feces. Humans are much more dangerous to eachother than squirrels are.
i am getting a pet flying squirel the guy across my street is going to get me a baby one he works for abc pest pool and lawn and he mainly does pest... he does not like to kill the animals so he gives them away or sets them free i cant wait ^_^
I used to shoot squirrels when I was a kid with my pellet gun. Squirrels are rodents and can carry diseases such as tick fever, powassan virus, rabies, and coccidiosis. Not to mention they carry fleas, tics, and may carry west nile virus from mosquito bites.
In March 2002, typhus fever was diagnosed in two patients residing in West Virginia and Georgia. Both patients were hospitalized with severe febrile illnesses, and both had been recently exposed to or had physical contact with flying squirrels or flying squirrel nests. Laboratory results indicated Rickettsia prowazekii infection....whos the dumb ass now dumb ass??
to crazyman631&jezx21 cure your ignorance-those are just excuses to justify you killing animals that cause none of us or( you )any harm.i grew up with morons like you who used those same tired excuse(lies) to legitimize your disrespect for any life forms so according to you and no one else these beautiful peaceful creatures in your sick minds would have to die.you were probably bullies in school and your fathers beat you.-evolve sub-humans!

Today I went into our tool shed, and heard a sound coming out of the wall. I thought it might be birds, but then I saw something run really fast across the top of a cabinet, and when I looked at it, it was a flying squirrel. Then to get it out, I took a can of bug killer and sprayed a bunch of it down into the wall to flush it out, with my pellet rifle in hand. Unfortunately I missed the shot, and it got away, so I'll try again tomorrow.
The flying squirrel, like other squirrels, shall die!
I didn't know what this little creature was until yesterday at dusk. I was throwing black oil seeds and peanuts around my tree to feed the animals like I always do (it's 18 degrees in CT right now) and something flew over my head onto the tree. I was expecting to see a bird but I saw a tiny squirrel with big eyes right in front of me. I was amazed it was so close! After staring a bit, I went inside to find out what it was and I found this video. Thanks!
I had them too, a family of about six. I was feeding Grays for about three years, then one night I noticed them flying into the feeding house from my house. Then two Red Squirrels showed up and tried to take over and started bullying the 25 Grays. Had to live-trap and relocate the Reds. They were nasty. The Flyers were nesting in my garage attack and reall did a number on some wiring. Like most rodents, they can be very detructive. Fun to watch, though.
I just found one nesting in my wrens house that the birds have never used! I'm flipping out cause I didn't know they lived in the U.S. before. I'm going to start to feed it (them?).
Question. How do you get them used to you getting closer like that? If I found one in a box, does that mean there might be more than one nesting in that box?
Thanks for the post. Just saw two tonight for the first time since this past winter. I was glad to see them as we had a pretty intense winter this year (S Central WI). I don't feed them but may for the time to get some vids of them via IR lighting. Couldn't call that many in your vid a flock could you?!
wait until they decide to move into your attic, then get into the house on a monthly basis. You won't think they're so cute then...

What a horrible comment - to be shooting them. We love our little visitors. I'd love to know how you shot it? My Muskoka video is a bit dark...

My clients have had H1N1, and students have had head lice - fortunately we didn't shoot THEM. My cats have fleas, we manage fine.
j3nnyj1ll 2 years ago
Oh...I didnt shoot them because of diseases. We did it mostly for fun. We used to sell the tails to make flies for fly fishing to my buddies dad.
