red squirrels are rare in the UK largely because they are out-competed and replaced by populations of the grey squirrels The red squirrel population have decreased because they only eat acorns at certain times. They only eat the acorns when they are ripe. As for the grey squirrels eat the acorns at any time of the year. So the red squirrels don't have as much food and can't reproduce as much. As well the trees are further apart and the red squirrels live on the trees most of the time and can't get about. As the grey squirrels spend most there time on the floor therefore can move about much more.
