So, I was browsing the squirrel side of the world wide web, just lookin for random information on squirrels and rehabbing them, when I can across a page that said its best to NOT establish routines when rehabilitating squirrels (and other animals in general) because when they are released that routine stays with them. For example: if you always feed at the same times then during those times the squirrel will want food.
I'm just wondering if this is true? I can see some logic in it because i know other animals (horses) who always get fed at the same times every day and they know when it's close to feeding time and always kick up a fuss. Are squirrel the same way?
Currently Hiccup DOES have a set routine, should I work on getting him away from it?
