WE have a pet grey squirrel, a female, who just happened to be borm a
daya or so at most from the day Hurricane Ivan came through. I found
it cold on the ground, and we warmed it up and got it raised up, and
its been fine until now.........Its in heat / season, and its constant
spastic behavior is nerve wracking..She sets on the tree limb in her
cage (6' x 2' x 4' welded wire enclosure) and just screeches and makes
all kinds of noises........She has gotten to the point right now you
can't touch her without the chance of getting bit.........So the wife
was grooming her with an old toothbrush, through the cage mesh, and
low and behold she turns around and present her backside, and starts
squalling........gawd what a racket. Its kind of funny, but all the
racket she is making now and her attitude is working on us....No
letting her loose is not an option. We have had squirels as pets for
many many years, but they were all males, and never created such a
racket. They acted the same all year round......Hope its just this
spring or late winter and breeding season that has her in the mood she
is in, as she is kind of neat. We can take her outside without a
leash, and she runs up and down trees, plays with the dog, runs all
over inside the house, and when yu go back in the house, she scapers
back down the tree or from wherever she is at, and follows you back in
the house like a dog........So does anyone have a male squirrel they
want to rent out? Short of roast squirrel any suggestions?
