"My" squirrel did not move into the house I built for her. But she comes to visit frequently and raised several young in the tree in front of the balcony. Two of them have also visited me but only the mother takes food from my hand.
ALMONDS:
Thanks for all the messages regarding almond being unhealthy for squirrels.
I did not feed any almonds after learning that.
NUTS WITHOUT SHELLS:
Yes squirrels need nuts in their shells to keep their teeth in shape. In times where she had young (twice a year) I bet it helped her gather food more quickly and return to her young.
I am sure it did no harm to her as there are plenty of other things in the tree to keep her teeth in shape.
