O.T. How to catch a young Squirrel
Comments (5)I had a pet squirrel when I was a teenager. It never bit me and I have pics somewhere of it on my neices head when she was little, lol. I need to find those pics and scan them to the computer. I also bottle fed a baby possum til it was big enough to turn loose. They squirrel will do a number on your curtains in the house though, lol. My 5th grade teacher had one in her class for years and she took it home at night with her....See MoreMy neighbor's new squirrel feeder
Comments (9)bkay, Would it be possible for you to cut up hardware wire or chicken wire and put it in your pots? You could use an empty pot as a guide, cut a circle out of the wire. Cut that circle in half and then make a space for the petioles. Oila, a squirrel proofed pot! It might take some time, but the wire could be reused each year, making the space for pets larger to account for growth. Steve...See MoreSquirrels are cool!
Comments (16)You can count me in too, I love the Squirrels, they more than earn their keep for food. I set up a feeding station for the Squirrels last year in the Oak tree where their nest was. I put up a snack box, one ot the things that holds an ear of corn & also an old bird feeder the perch had broken off of they seem to like best of all since they can crawl in it & hide while they are eating. [it's flat on one side & closed up] Well guess what, the birds won't stay out of the Squirrel feeders even though bird feeders are plentiful not too far away. The birds can't open the snack box of course but the Squirrels don't seem to care for it much either. Haven't figured out yet why they birds seem to think the food in the Squirrel feeder is better than the other feeders. It's a bit tricky getting in that feeder but didn't take the birds long to figure it out. I put a mixture of food in it, song bird food, squirrel food, cracked corn & scratch, even the Mockingbird is in & out of the Squirrel feeder all the time, had her babies there with her yesterday. I'm guessing the Mocker is after the fruit in the song bird food since they don't eat seeds - maybe the peanuts too? I would never think of feeding just birds without including the Squirrels, they are hungry too plus do a good job of entertaining me... Still begging my brother to make me a Squirrel feeder like the instructions posted here, he say's he's printed out the instructions so maybe there's hope? Thanks for all the pictures posted, I never get tired of looking a Squirrel pictures... :-)...See MoreOT-Magnolia for Squirrel
Comments (25)decorpas~It will get leaves later in the season, and they will turn a lovely yellow color in the fall. polkadots' 'Jane' is a cultivar (a special selection) of the saucer magnolia (Magnolia x soulangiana), selected for its large fragrant blooms. straitlover's tree is NOT a magnolia, but it's in the same family (Magnoliaceae), the Latin name is Liriodendron tulipifera. I've linked to it here. Here is a link that might be useful: Tulip tree...See Morejoeywyomingzone4
