Hi all,
I live in an apartment and feed grey squirrels and purposely left a crack between the two Windows for a squirrel to make a nest. I also left pillow stuffing in there and a black squirrel has been there all winter. Recently I noticed dried and smeared blood on the window on its way out. None in the nest. I have been curious and worried. Other squirrels come between the windows to eat... This morning I noticed the black squirrel had another squirrel in its nest and was grooming it. I don't know if by force or anything but next thing I know that squirrel bolted out and there was a bloody print on the wall leading out. I am very puzzled about this situation. Is the black squirrel an agressor or is he sick or fighting or what..... Thank you

That is odd. You see blood, but you haven't been able to see if there is a would of some sort? How long have you been seeing the blood?

Well about 3 days since I haven't cleaned it yet but I think there's a new spot today

I haven't been able to post a picture apparently. He does have fur missing in his back (I'm just supposing it's a male)
But no apprarent wound. Why is he grooming the other squirrel in his nest and then that squirrel bolting out? Is it friendly or domination?
