My wife and I live off grid in Alaska and have for about seven years now. We have a ton of squirrel neighbors. Generations of them now. They daily come into the cabin and sit on the couch and eat almonds and mama's often bring their youngsters over in the Spring. They have different personalities, some let us pet them, most let us rub their bellies and in return we pull dozens of ticks off them. We're not in the interior so the ticks are unlikely to carry tularemia, we did send a dozen or so to the State to have tested and they didn't have it.

Anyway, we found this forum because one of the new squirrels has an eye issue so we figured we'd share that in case somebody had some knowledge to pass on that might be helpful. I'm sure we'll have other squirrel news to share in the future.

Thanks for the add to the forum. Cheers.
