Are grey squirrels a type of tree squirrels?

Having fostered and released nearly 100 eastern grey squirrels, I have to say without a doubt they are tree squirrels and most seem to prefer conifer trees to live in. I am enjoying my first experience with a Douglas squirrel. I can see how delicate they are as a good reason for the eastern greys taking over their territory. We will be taking him back to the island he was rescued (mauled by a cat) from in the spring when he has matured and shown evidence of self sufficiency.


What food do squirrels love?

Squirrels go nuts (no pun intended) over peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, pine nuts, etc. If it has a shell for them to have to work on, that's even better. Just not SUPER hard shells like Macadamia nuts. They seem to like working for it, tinkering with it to get them open.


How many babies do squirrels have?

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.


Do tree squirrels hibernate?

Ground squirrels (like chipmunks and prairie dogs) live in ground burrows, and many become dormant in winter (hibernate). Tree squirrels genera contains most of the common, bushy-tailed squirrels in North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, which prefer the heights of the trees, as opposed to ground squirrels, 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 to almost completely 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.


Can squirrels survive without their tails?

Squirrels without tails are usually a genetic defect. Basically, too many squirrels inbreeding in their gene pool. It happens more often where there is ample feeding in a neighborhood, and many otherwise weak offspring would have died. These squirrels also seem to get "picked on" by their tail waving brethren, due to not having a tail to flap and wriggle in communication. The tail also acts like a little parachute when they jump from branch to branch, and a tail free squirrel would be deprived of this balancing assistance. In the winter the tail helps warm them, so they would be more susceptible to the cold. But bottom line- can it survive? Yes. If you are seeing squirrels without tails, you will probably also start seeing ones with stubs of fluff, and just slightly less long and fluffy tails than usual. Sometimes the genetics improves with succeeding generations.

Why do squirrels hibernate during winter?

"Although squirrels seem to disappear from sight in the winter months, they are in the exact places where they lived during the warmer months. In fact, squirrels spend their entire lives within only three to five acres. Ground squirrels hibernate during the winter months, but tree squirrels do not. Tree squirrels keep warm by snuggling with their family in their tree nests or ground burrows. As soon as the weather permits, they emerge and begin hunting for food again. Squirrels are very sensitive to weather changes and prepare for an upcoming drop in temperature by instinctively burying their nuts underground as well as binge eating!"
