:) Hi, everyone! I am very fascinated and in love with squirrels! I just admire them from afar...I've never even been closer to one than a few feet. My adoration for squirrels has been life-long but especially since I began feeding the wild birds in my yard.

I have a few basic questions that I have always wondered about:
1. All squirrels look almost identical to me...any tips to tell them apart?

2. Can a squirrel survive with only one eye? There are 2 in my yard that have only one eye (left eye on one, right eye on other).

3.I worry about the one- eyed squirrels and am curious if they can be born with only one good eye or if injury usually is the explanation. Do totally glassy/closed eyes ever heal to be normal?

I'll start with those questions, but I've got lots more. You Squirrel People amaze me! Thank you!!!:jump

YES - Squirrels can survive with only one EYE --we have many Squirrels out there that surviving with only one eye and some with one limb missing...... and they are doing just fine -- :thumbsup

Hello & :Welcome :Welcome :Welcome
If you watch them long enough you will notice certain characteristics about them. That's how I tell mine 20 apart.
