OK, so just how young can my girl breed. She was released in June and by July 1st she would be 5 months old. She is fully released and shows up routinely each day. Been gone for four days now. So out of the norm for her!!!! Very worried. I have called her like crazy. All the wild ones show up when I call, but not her.
Could she possibly have a litter she is busy with these four days????

Female gray squirrels are not mature enough to breed until they are a year old. Not babies keeping her away.

I've had this happen and they usually come back as soon as you post something. I think they just love to worry us! She's probably out doing squirrel investigative studies of others nests and having a great time.
She'll probably show up when you least expect it. And maybe she found
a great place to build a nest just a little farther away from you, but most
likely fine. All of my released squirrels scare me like this and then as soon as I post something they show up laughing at me!
Hugs!

JoAnne and Anne are right...too young and probably 'just busy' being a sq!
Hope she lets you know she's ok soon!:Love_Icon
