    Default Squirrels Peeing

    I've read a few comments in this forum where squirrels have managed to pee outside the cage (while in the cage). I assume those would be male squirrels? IDK, maybe I'm wrong to assume a male squirrel can aim and not a female squirrel, LOL. I hope to complete my cage tonight and place Emma inside. I'd like to be prepared for the possibility of her peeing outside the cage.

    That's good to know. Looks like I'll be purchasing a small tarp.

    My girl did this in her early years when she got excited seeing me when I would get near the front door of her enclosure, wanting out or wanting nuts. Our younger girl while sitting on my hubby's shoulder had the habit of emptying her bladder on him. After a few years our oldest stopped the squirting, but the younger switched to squirting while on my hubby's shoulder, and I got it in the face a number of times while standing too near. From personal experience I would say then that the girls definitely exhibit this behavior normally, and often, at least as younger adults; though I don't think it was deliberately to spray us. Then again?
