I mean, if the Guardianistas think you can eat them then the tree-rats

As a non squirrel eating Guardianista long associated with
environmental/conservation bodies I bring you glad tidings. Whilst
the red squirrel is protected under Schedule 5 of the Wildlife and
Countryside Act, the grey is not. So you can exclude your lodger. It
would be wise to check to see if there are still young in the drey if
possible, however I would have thought that they would be active by
now and frequently venturing outside.
