How often do squirrels mate?
Mating season for squirrels occurs twice a year - December to January & June to July. They are the most active in late winter, when the mating season begins. The males will chase a female, as well as, chase off other suitors. This ritual of chasing, occurs through the trees at top speed. The period of gestation varies from 33 days in the smaller species of pine squirrels, up to 60 days for the larger species such as the common gray and fox squirrels. Squirrels are usually born in the early spring. The average litter consists of four. This varies with climate and location. A second litter can occur in mid summer, if there is an adequate food supply. A female squirrel will choose the strongest male during mating season, but is unlikely to breed with that male again. This is natures way of reducing inbreeding, and to preserve the species. A baby squirrel weighs approximately one ounce at birth, and is about one inch long. They do not have hair or teeth, and are virtually blind for the first six to eight weeks. Yet they typically only remain with their mother for 3 months on average, thereby allowing the female to produce a second litter.
