    So its possible to have babies in November? We saw the squirrel and it did not look like a lactating female, was rather smallish but my husband said he will look tomorrow just to see if anything there.....

    In Florida there seems to be the possibility of babies all year long. Tell his to listen carefully as well as looking.

    Could this possibly be a young juvie that was born in the attic trying to get back to nest?
    They tend to look like small adults by the time they start to venture out.

    In Florida squirrels breed all year long. Please check your attic for babies. No, it’s not normal for a squirrel to be that determined to re-enter....unless she has a reason to.

    It's also possible that, if not babies, the squirrel has a cache of nuts she has put away for the long winter and desperately wants to get back to them. (They will keep her alive for the next 5 months, right?)
