Hello everyone......I released my fox squirrel Harley 7 weeks ago. She was approximately 8 months old. She has disappeared a few times for a day but always returned. She continued to spend 99% of her nights in her release cage. This past Saturday evening was the last time I saw her. That was an odd day as she probably took 25 nuts from me - normally I give her approximately 5 in the morning before work and 5 in the evening after work. She has continued to climb on me, let me pet her, etc. Saturday she was literally jumping at the back door to get my attention for nuts. She has never taken so many nuts before. Saturday night we had TERRIBLE thunderstorms. The last I saw her was around 7 pm when she went into her release cage for what I assumed was the night. It is now Tuesday morning and I have not seen her since Saturday evening. She is normally like clockwork waiting for me every morning and every evening. Could this activity have anything to do with the recent abundance of rain/bad weather or mating season? Of course I am heartbroken. I feel as though the odd coincidence of the excessive amount of nuts she wanted on Saturday is possibly related? This is my one and only squirrel experience so I have nothing to compare it to. Thank you in advance!!!!!! Dana
