Re: Squirrel Harness and Leash?
a couple of things I do with my singleton overwinters:
periodically add fresh branches. I live near a public park, and during the winter there are frequently downed branches I can cut smaller and put in my squirrel's cage. the smell alone helps to interest them.
while temperature allows ground digging, I provide some sod/lawn in a deep bakeware dish they can use to bury whole nuts in the shell that I provide. I also scatter some fall leaves that I bag in November specifically for this purpose. together with the sod, it makes them feel like they can carry out normal behaviors and brings the smells of the outdoors in to their cage.
yes, these 2 things require more frequent sweeping, thankfully I have hardwood floors and not carpet.
