Umm no... The squirrel's teeth are also highly specialized and designed for the kind

of food he eats. He belongs to the very numerous "chisel-tooth" tribe

known as the RODENTS, which includes the rats, beaver, porcupine

and others, whose front teeth consist of two incisors in the upper jaw

and two in the lower. (Incisor is from a Latin word meaning "to cut").

These teeth have a fine, sharp, chisel edge suited for gnawing through

nutshells, grains, seeds and other hard vegetable material. They never

stop growing. Only constant use keeps them short and sharp. A lack of

hard nuts or other material upon which to gnaw, prevents this wearing

down and the teeth become so long that they cannot eat. The teeth of

pet squirrels can be clipped; otherwise they may actually die of starvation

What are squirrel spikes and how do they help protect against squirrel damage?

Squirrel spikes are devices made of metal or plastic that are installed on surfaces to prevent squirrels from climbing on them. They have pointed ends that deter squirrels from accessing areas where they may cause damage, such as roofs, fences, or bird feeders. The spikes create a barrier that makes it difficult for squirrels to grip and climb, helping to protect against squirrel damage.
