Yes, generally. Since squirrels are a species of rodent (like rats) they are capable of eating almost anything, if they get hungry enough. Normally they feed on seeds, shoots, leaves, nuts and the like. In my yard, the squirrels frequently eat the palm nuts that fall from my fan palm and Canary Island date palm trees.

But that's only when my wife has neglected to refill the squirrel feeder which is normally filled with peanuts. (They have also figured out how to open the bird feeder which contains sunflower seeds. This seems to be a great treat.)

A heterotroph cannot produce its own energy. It has to feed on other organic matter survive. A squirrel is a heterotroph.
