Countdown To Baby Season: Acrobatic Squirrels

​

• Squirrels are equipped with such long fingers which are designed to aid in climbing trees but also suit them well for traversing brick walls, roof tops and attic spaces.
• Squirrels run in a zigzag pattern to escape predators.
• Baby squirrels start exploring outside the nest around 6 weeks of age and are ready to be on their own at 10 weeks of age. 
• A squirrel reaches sexual maturity at 10-12 months. At this age, the males and females are fertile and can begin mating.
