And I also think there are certain kinds that aren't good for humans.<br />-<br /><br />SquirrelQueen - I'd love to see a Douglas squirrel. I don't think we have them here.<br /><br />I won't be trying any acorns any time soon. Just from the little bit I've read so far, I understand there's a problem with certain acorns and human digestion. I'll be doing more research on acorns soon.<br />-<br /><br />R4 - It's nice to see when two different creatures can do their surviving side by side with no hostilities.<br />-<br /><br />Music Training Teachers - The squirrels are fun when they're being polite, and they're sometimes even fun when they're angry.Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-59272082900394788592009-10-06T03:11:04.546-05:002009-10-06T03:11:04.546-05:00PJ @ You are saying right my friend I like photos ...PJ @ You are saying right my friend I like photos mostly.R4 cardhttp://r4-card.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-53078012633852751762009-10-05T23:22:12.073-05:002009-10-05T23:22:12.073-05:00Love your squirrel stories.

The walnuts are almost bigger than their mouths. There are fox squirrels at the local parks and my yard but sometimes I see a Douglas squirrel. <br /><br />If you decide to try an acorn make sure it is from a white oak and not a red oak. We had oak trees when I was growing up, my mom says I tried to eat an acorn when I was very young.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-2945073930834522912009-10-05T01:02:48.304-05:002009-10-05T01:02:48.304-05:00Thats a cute squirrel you had there.

They can sometimes be mean little creatures, but I still love 'em. It's a shame that the cat couldn't have it's fun though.<br />-<br /><br />Rainfield - I don't think it wanted to share with me, but I think it would have welcomed me to take a different one for myself. :)<br />-<br /><br />Jackie - A funeral is always the most important thing, so take your time. I hope you and your family are as fine as you can be despite something like this.<br />-<br /><br />allotments4you - We could each do a post about acorns. That would be fun. I'm sure they would both be very different, I'm always different. If yours came up first I would give a link to it so everyone else could get extra information.<br />-<br /><br />John - I don't think a squirrel would actually eat a toad but they would eat a lizard. Acorns have been used for a variety of food. I'm going to do a little bit of research on them soon.<br />-<br /><br />Ann - I'm not sure yet, but I think acorns have to be prepared for humans to eat them. I'm going to find out soon. I'll make sure I do a post.<br />-<br /><br />I am Stan - A fox squirrel is a different species. Fox squirrels have reddish brown fur, and they are bigger than gray squirrels. Search my blog for Fox Squirrels and you'll find some good information on them. I hope that helps.<br />-<br /><br />Icy BC - Yeah, they love all sorts of nuts. When I lived in Detroit we had a chestnut tree that they were nuts over. :)<br />-<br /><br />The Retired One - Blasphemy! Not even peanut butter? Just kidding. We all have things we don't like. I'm one of the worst picky eaters there is. :)<br />-<br /><br />PJ - I just hope I don't inundate you all with squirrels. I love them so much that I want to do squirrel stories all the time. <br />-<br /><br />Betchai - I'll try to keep doing this as long as I can. That's the good thing about it, they are always here.<br />-<br /><br />Ginnymo - Squirrels are some of the most fun little critters to watch. They are always up to something. I'd like to see what they do with those rocks.<br />-Rick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637168036712963543.post-26429591618105321782009-10-04T13:20:02.752-05:002009-10-04T13:20:02.752-05:00Squirrels do have good sniffers on them to search ...Squirrels do have good sniffers on them to search out nuts. They don't seem to remember where they buried their nuts at times but usually one of the other squirrels will find it. Some of my squirrels are always carrying off rocks.
