What do squirrels eat in the winter?
'Ground squirrels' (like chipmunks and prairie dogs) live in ground burrows, and many become dormant in winter (hibernate). Most of the common, bushy-tailed squirrels in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America are 'tree squirrels'. These prefer the heights of the trees and spend little time on the ground.
Tree squirrels do not hibernate during the winter months, but they keep all activities to a minimum to conserve energy. Hence, they often seem almost completely to disappear during the winter months. Winter tree nests (called dreys) are often shared for warmth where tree squirrels keep warm by snuggling with their family members. When they sleep, they use their big furry tails to cover themselves to keep as warm as possible.
A squirrel will come out now and then to search for hidden stores of food. These stores of nuts and other items (like pine cones in the case of the red squirrel) are buried by a squirrel in the ground in late autumn, a period also spent on instinctive binge eating. Often the hidden nuts are not found at all and later may grow into new trees.

How did a squirrel get in my toilet?
Squirrels can sometimes live in walls and can possibly spot the toilet, see water and go over to drink, possibly falling in. OR if you have a dog or cat and the squirrel is dead, the animal could have carried it in and somehow dropped it in the toilet. Though it can always be someone playing a prank on you...I've had a dead squirrel put in my cereal box by my brother, so it is more possible than the other two theories!
How do you make a homemade squirrel trap from things in your household burp?
Firstly, think of the simplest things you can think of. Got it? All right, this is very simple. All you need is a rectangular box, square is more difficult, a stick, and a very long peice of string. Remember that this only works for ground squirrels. Now it's time to set up your trap. First you set the box on the ground. Then, you put the stick where the two corners meet on the box. Lastly, you tie a string on the bottom of the stick. When a squirrel comes under the box, you pull the string, and the squirrel is trapped under the box. Just make sure that the box isn't light enough for the squirrel to push his way out. Good luck!!! Firstly, think of the simplest things you can think of. Got it? All right, this is very simple.

Flying squirrels are nocturnal because they have adapted to avoid predators that are active during the day. Being active at night allows them to have less competition for food and resources, and reduces their exposure to predators. Additionally, their large eyes are well-suited for low-light conditions, making them more efficient at navigating in the dark.
