Stormy Lee is about 5 months old now and when stretched out she is 9 inches long from the tip of her nose to the base of her tail. Her tail is longer than her body, but it is hard to measure it ( she won't hold it still). At what age do the young squirrels reach their adult size?

A 5 months....your squirrel is more than likely "full grown". This doesn't mean they are sexually mature. That happens ( depending on species and your climate) at about 1 year I believe for greys in warmer climates. ( Im assuming she is a grey)
