That's so cute!!!
My late, beloved dog would gladly chase deer and bears, but was terrified of squirrels! Perhaps rightly so!
Those are usually bird feeders that the squirrels are stealing from, and the squirrels generally come back knowing the feeder will spin. They are pretty clever animals and run all sorts of obstacle courses and mazes to get at food.I guess I'm a spoil-sport, but those videos of the little squirrels spinning on those feeders is disturbing. I hate to see any animal in distress.![]()
In Laramie, WY i actually had one knock on bed room window when bird feeder empty. There was a large tree in front of that house and i started putting food there for the squirrell.The ones of them spinning bother me too but, unfortunately I can't edit those out. I rather enjoy my squirrels. I used to have one that back when I lived in the country, he would come check out hubby's car. Cracked me up cuz it looked like he was working on it.
They could sometimes have rabies.Has anyone befriended a wild squirrel? I don't think I would. Do they carry disease?
