Mother Squirrel Protects Her Young

From day one my philosophy has been to develop procedures that "Work With Mother Nature, Not Against Her". This video exemplifies that principle. When faced with a specific set of circumstances animals will behave in somewhat predictable ways. A willingness to observe, learn and work with these behaviours will result in a more humane approach to wildlife removal.

Yes, the mother squirrel establishes multiple den sites in her territory. It is actually a good survival strategy for them to have alternative den sites to move into when the primary site is no longer safe.

It is not uncommon for baby squirrels to have ectoparasites such as fleas and lice on them. It is just easier to see them when they have short fur.

just read a chapter in my comparative psych book on squirrels, specifically Californian squirrels. With snakes at least, they charge and jump back to get them to respond so they can judge how big it is by the sound and they wiggle their tails in certain ways to warn of, or the lack of, nearby predators. Also they use body heat to figure out how fast the snake can charge (more heat = quicker). I was excited about my new knowledge
