Can squirrels eat eggplant? Should it be peeled first?

:thankyou

A sq here, a good eater, healthy adult female...got very sick after eating a meal that included eggplant...I can not say 100%...but it was her first time...
she was severly ill for 5 days...
vomitted for days...horrible..
she has never been sick since...
I do not feed eggplant plant anymore, once was enough...
It is a member of the deadly nightshade family...
not a veggie at all, but a berry.
Some sqs will be sensitive to it, others not...same for people.

oh wow! This is scary. I've fed eggplant to Marsha my flyer many times. I've never had a problem but I'm gonna stop before I do.
