I see the squirrels in my neighborhood, they're always busy and diligent making nests, looking for food, caring for the babies, looking out for predators(too many), burying food for winter, stacking more leaves for winter ... ... that's why I never allow my dogs to chase or bother them.

@@LeeLee-BB Well done! We have to watch out for our wild little brothers & sisters

Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching! Been so fun to watch them do construction of their own!

They will often nest together in winter for warmth, especially siblings, but they tend to be solitary creatures the rest of the time. When females become pregnant they find an assertiveness & territoriality that most squirrels don't normally exhibit. They'll kick everyone else out of the nest & take it over as a birthing house. I've noticed very mellow females become the top of the heap when they're pregnant to ensure they get sufficient food & have a safe nest for their young.

Do they pair up cause we've sent squirrels arrive more or less in pairs...

I used to build squirrel houses and when I was finished I would put a big handful of Timothy in it before I hung it, sometimes two if the weather was bad. They really appreciated it because they also had something to chew on besides keeping warm . I gave them peanuts roasted in their shell and unsalted in a self feeder so they could take one whenever they wanted . The Blue Jays didn’t like it because they couldn’t get in the feeder which had a heavy for them plywood lid with hinges but the squirrels just put their nose under the overhang of the lid and pushed it up and took the peanut’s . When he backed up the lid would close by itself from gravity . I built it that way so it wouldn’t open too far and then fall back in place .

Two day job! Thanks for watching!

Gotta test out the new sheets!! 😂 thanks for watching

@@mybackyardfriends7326 you’re welcome.

Pretty, fun to watch wasn't it? I've been having so much fun watching!

Lol LEAVES!!!!!!!!!

After that first night... yep need more leaves. Got cold. You could tell.

Squirrels just do what they want

Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Very much Appreciate it

Yep! Good on you! That’s very considerate of you. Many people don’t understand the ground cover it produces for wildlife/bugs that are important too. Thanks for watching and the comment. Blessings to you and yours!

@@mybackyardfriends7326 And my compost pile also provides cover for black snakes which help keep the mice population down! Last year I had 3 black snakes take up accommodations in my compost pile. They too are important to the neighborhood!

Thanks for watching, Joey!

Awesome to hear! I don't remember approximate dimensions but this video is all about the camera we used and how we we made it! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AuXsZkk9A2A.html Thanks for watching!!

My pleasure! Thanks for watching

Yeah it sure does! Thanks for watching!

They surely aren’t starving here on the property 🙂

Thanks for watching!

No. There’s been squirrels born in there now. She was just fine. Just chunky from winter

Oh no! They can be destructive if given the opportunity to. Hope you get a fun watch out if it at least

We use green feather bird box wifi cameras and Blink security cameras

Is the camera wireless or will you have it wired ip?

Good luck!

Nothing wrong with being different!

When they are in it they protect it at the opening. But they will leave for periods of time during the day. During the day I’ve seen rando squirrels come in twice now. They don’t stay long and just sniff the place down and skedaddle pretty fast.

Yep! I didn’t notice mom giving lessons in house keeping! But I’ve been wrong lots in my life
