Late this afternoon we found a nest of 4 baby squirrel's in the engine compartment of our Ford Bronco. It's been sitting in the driveway for about 6 months without being driven.
I don't know much about squirrel's nesting habits, and how the parents would react or how old they are (ie, is the mom still nursing?).
We know they have already chewed some wires in the engine and we really need to move them.
Any suggestions?
I think they are about 6-7 inches nose to base of tail (one jumped out of the nest down into the engine compartment) and I'm guessing about 1/3 of their full growth. We had some warm weather this winter in Colorado and it could have triggered an early mating season.
