I think it means she is a squirrel! :laugh2

JK... so last week when she was bitey, did she have a nut or maybe you had a nut your were (or were not) giving her?

:laugh2 Yep, that's what it means. They don't even have to have a good reason to bite you.

She looks too young to be pregnant. Do you know how old she is? I think George is now Georgia. :tilt

I found her last August so she's 8 or 9 months old she lives in a nest behind the back seat of my truck since November ,she lived in doors for couple months then started her nest and only came in for breakfast then wanted to go back out,she did watch a couple of football games with me ,and she usually did bite when I would hand her a nut,but today she sat in my hand and ate her dinner then sat on my shoulder for a while257131

:)Hi joemac and Honey, she certainly is a Beautiful Squirrel, and yes the biting is their play as much as anything else. Just as a dog 'soft mouths' during play, Squirrels interact in the same way. Your neighborhood looks very calm and safe for wildlife, you wouldn't want Honey to end up somewhere with too much traffic, miles away from home.:sadness

:)If you put up not one but two nest boxes in your back yard, I'm sure Honey would have a very long life. And with a couple of feeding locations in your back yard, you will have several more visiting Squirrels before Summer is over.:thumbsup

:)Here are a couple of great ideas for a cool feeder and a nice nest box.:serene

I was talking to critter mom last week about moving Honey out of my truck you can see not a lot of trees in my neighborhood I have a wooded area at the bottom of my street where the other squirrels live but we do have allot of hawks in the neighborhood but I'm worried about the kids they all know her and stay away from her if I'm not there I just don't won't her running up one of their legs ,sorry I'm rambling dont get to talk to people about this,the only way I could make her stay away is if I leave her somewhere far away which I don't want to do,,also if she does have babies do you think she'd move them? And she has had friends over running around the truck and all over the neighborhood
