When did red and grey squirrels start competition?
Red and grey squirrels began to compete significantly after the introduction of grey squirrels to the UK in the late 19th century, around the 1870s. The invasive grey squirrel outcompeted the native red squirrel for food and habitat, leading to a decline in red squirrel populations. This competition has continued, contributing to the red squirrel's status as a threatened species in many areas.

How is the grey squirrel attacking the red squirrel?
Yes they do:( Years ago, the world was full of red squirrels but a grey squirrel was found and was bought in to our country and the grey squirrel bred with another grey and soon there were loads of grey squirrels, and they were all wiping out the red squirrels which is why there are not many red squirrels around these parts anymore. The grey squirrels stole their food and destroyed their homes ever since :'( x x x x Don't know about the imported Grey Squirrels "destroying" the Reds' homes, but they out-competed the latter for food. It wasn't deliberate massacre! In the UK there are still a few colonies of the native Red Squirrel, such as Brownsea Island and areas of The Lake District and Cumbria _ I have seen one in Appleby-in-Westmoreland. They are seen in North Wales too I believe. I've noticed that the grey squirrels in my area of Southern England seem to be more orange-tinged than a couple of decades or so ago. May be my imagination, but is this common for the species? What's their normal colour in the US and Canada?

What factors have contributed to decrease in red squirrel numbers?
Some factors that have contributed in the decrease if red squirrels are:- -Grey squirrels are immune to a disease called 'poxvirus' or more commonly known as 'Squirrel Pox' where as red squirrels are not and it causes the red squirrel or 'Fox Squirrel' to die out. -When grey squirrels were introduced many red squirrels were in britain, but now because the population of grey squirrel is far greater than that of the red squirrel, when the two types of squirrels compete for food, shelter etc, the grey squirrel will always come out on top - If you get what I mean :p That's about all I've got at the moment! Hope it helped some of you guys! Mod Joshy x
