They nurse them until around 8- 10 weeks, then they usually start taking them on outings and showing them how to forage. They are fiercely protective of their babies, and show their young how to fight as well. Some young females will stay with their mother up to a year old.

∙ 13y agoSaw a momma squirrel today at the foot of an oak tree with what looked like another squirrel wrapped around her. The other squirrel unwrapped and it was a juvenile squirrel about half her size. She then nuzzled its tummy and picked it up. The baby was wrapped around her neck and somehow she was carrying it. She ran a few yards, put the baby down nuzzled it as if to get a better grip then proceeded to run with the baby to the corner and take a left turn.
