Chipmunks and Squirrels

Yes, squirrels do eat apples. They are known to enjoy a variety of fruits and nuts, including apples when they are available. However, they may not be their first choice and may prefer other food sources if they are more readily accessible.

Flying squirrels make a high-pitched, chirping sound when in danger to warn other squirrels and alert them to potential threats. This sound helps the group communicate and coordinate their actions to stay safe.

The population of red squirrels has declined in some areas due to the spread of gray squirrels, which compete for resources and carry a disease lethal to red squirrels. Conservation efforts are being made to protect and increase red squirrel populations in these regions.

Squirrels typically live in tree nests called dreys or burrows underground. They are excellent climbers and spend their days foraging for food among trees and on the ground. Squirrels are known for their agility, quickness, and ability to adapt to various environments.

It is possible to see wild squirrels at night as they can be active during twilight hours. However, their nocturnal activities are less common compared to daytime when they forage for food and socialize.

Eastern chipmunks primarily eat nuts, seeds, fruit, berries, insects, and small amphibians. They have cheek pouches that they use to gather and store food, which they then bring back to their burrows to eat or save for later.

The common name originally may have been spelled "chitmunk," from the native Odawa word jidmoonh, meaning "red squirrel". The earliest form cited in the Oxford English Dictionary is "chipmonk," however, "chipmunk" appears in several books from the 1820s and 1830s.

Yes, chipmunks do eat acorns. Acorns are a common food source for chipmunks, along with nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects. Chipmunks collect and store acorns in their cheek pouches to bring back to their burrows for consumption.

Squirrels' enemies are wild and domestic cats, dogs and foxes, Birds of Prey, martens, snakes, humans, and stoats and weasels.

they will eat all sorts such as nuts (especially peanuts),acorns dont feed them green acorns they will upset the tummy, insects, different types of grain, small mammals, birds,eggs of certain birds, various types of fungi, worms, birdseeds, dried or fresh banana,apple,peas,tomatoes,sweetcorn,grapes,cucumber,dried apricots,sunflower seeds, grass,plants, lizards,

Yes, squirrels do live in New Hampshire. The state has various squirrel species, including the Eastern gray squirrel and the American red squirrel, which are commonly found in forests, parks, and urban areas throughout the state.

It is not recommended to keep a wild baby red squirrel as a pet. They require specialized care, a proper diet, and a habitat that mimics their natural environment. In addition, it may also be illegal in some areas to keep wild animals as pets. It is best to contact a wildlife rehabilitator if you find a baby red squirrel in need of assistance.

Chipmunks gather food by foraging for seeds, nuts, berries, fruits, and insects on the ground or in trees. They have cheek pouches to carry food back to their burrows to store for later consumption. Chipmunks are known to stash food in multiple locations to ensure they have enough to eat during periods of scarcity.

Probably a predator has moved into the area. Owl, weasel or cat. A wet spring can do them in as they nest underground and the babies can be cut off from the mother by flooding. If there was a shortage of food over the winter they may have moved on to better pickings.

It is recommended to relocate a flying squirrel at least five miles away from the original location to prevent it from finding its way back. This distance helps reduce the chance of the flying squirrel returning to the house.

My answer would have to be yes because of recent research and studies we have found out the natural way for these squirrels to be born is blind. You see in past studies we have found out that the blind squirrels like peanut butter so they have to be born blind to develop their keen sense of smell for peanut butter. Also they will eat peanut butter off of anywhere on your body.....Anywhere. so go to blindflyingsquirrles.net and get your very own squirrel sent to you by mail. The squirrel is free unless your last name ends in a letter A-Z or if the day you receive the squirrel ends in a Y. Shipping and handling costs apply. These costs do not apply to those who live on the Sun. i hope you have lots of peanut butter because if they don't get their fix they will surely KILL you. so don't make your squirrels do that and feed them peanut butter. Too many people have died from shortages of peanut butter in their nation so go to nationalpeanutbutterwildlife.com to help this endangered species. Also when you go to the first website you may choose to have us send with your squirrel a life time supply of peanut butter but our definition of life time supply could possibly end yours so be careful very careful. This just in our very own Joe Dirt from Mars has been kidnapped by a blind flying squrriel who was having peanut butter withdrawls so please be sure and feed your squirrel peanut butter or we might not have a president anymore. Now i would like to point out to you that the blind flying squirrel is actually on the endangered species list. Sadly enough when these squirrels are left out in the wild without peanut butter long enough well this is very hard for me to say but well they eat approxamately 9.2743676 posioned leaves that cause them to holusanate and go out and find your mothers uncles brothers aunts fathers great great grandmas pet inch worm and well it doesnt go very smoothly from there. infact these squirres drowned their victims with spit from their very own mouths....i want a piece of that action!!! like my bff if you get scratched by a blind flying squirrel you will mutate into a Giant rabid stick so don't get scratched. Yes so that concludes our very short and underestimated nonfiction story explaining to you that most flying squirrels are born blind and so in conclusion when you find yourself in loathing and in self doubt still remember there is a little blind flying squirrel waiting to drown you in their spit. thank you and have a nice day loser!!!

Yes, chipmunks eat nuts as a common part of their diet. They also feed on seeds, fruits, berries, insects, and sometimes small animals. Chipmunks have cheek pouches that they use to carry food back to their burrows for storage.

Squirrels typically have 2-6 babies in a litter, although this can vary depending on the species of squirrel and environmental conditions. The babies are called kits or kittens, and they are born hairless and helpless. The mother squirrel takes care of them until they are old enough to venture out on their own.

Chipmunks are one of the fastest rodents on earth, they accelarate at 15 mph and run at 29 mph top speed. Sources: Rodent Velocity Expert

Really smart, for their brain size. The squirrels in our backyard are really smart because they steal our stuff like spoons. They also look us straight in the eyes when we feed them from our porch, a sign of intelligence, and they don't always come up to us for food. Sometimes they just come and look at us and we feed them peanuts, but they don't eat them. They don't treat us as some food dispenser, though they threaten us sometimes if we don't feed them, by climbing up the screen, or digging in the flowers on our deck. That's intelligence to me.

The Northern flying squirrel is found in coniferousand mixed forests across the top of North America, from Alaska to Nova Scotia, south to North Carolina and west to California

A squirrel's average litter size is typically between 2 to 4 babies, although it can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions.

Squirrels and foxes have a predator-prey relationship. Foxes hunt squirrels for food, which helps control squirrel populations and maintain balance in the ecosystem. The presence of foxes can influence squirrel behavior, such as where and when they forage for food to avoid predation.

Squirrels can die from a variety of factors including disease, predation, accidents like being hit by vehicles, environmental factors like extreme weather or lack of food/water, or old age. Additionally, human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and introducing non-native species can also contribute to squirrel mortality.
