Anyways, read some interesting articles about squirrels eating bones... whether its deer antlers or human bones. Just wondering if there are certain types of bones you should NOT give a squirrel? Like I know chicken bones are bad for dogs because of the splintering, etc..
Thanks in advance for the knowledge!
Taken from another forum asking same question, thanks Mel.
