Squirrel Facts
Squirrel is a term that most use to refer to a kind of familiar fluffy-tailed, tree-climbing rodent, or “tree squirrel”. However tree squirrels are only a part of the true squirrel family, which also includes chipmunks, groundhogs and prairie dogs. On this page, Havahart® offers facts about the familiar tree squirrel, including general facts and how to identify damage.
Squirrel Habitat
As indicated by their name, tree squirrels are arboreal, and they often make their homes either in leaf nests or inside tree cavities. All tree squirrels rely heavily on the availability of mast (the dry fruit from woody plants and trees) – especially acorns and other nuts – for their survival. So a tree squirrel’s habitat must consist of these nut-bearing trees.
Squirrel Diet
The majority of a squirrel’s diet consists of hard mast like acorns, hickory nuts, walnuts, or seeds. In fact, from September through March, one squirrel requires around 1.5 lbs. of mast per week to survive. Because a squirrel’s digestive system is not equipped to absorb cellulose, they will only eat green plants, twigs and bark in desperation.
Squirrel Behavior
- Activity: Diurnal in nature, squirrels are mainly active during the day. They do not hibernate but will typically spend long hours in their nests during the cold winter months.
- Nesting: Tree squirrels make their homes in trees, either in natural cavities or leaf nests constructed of leaves, twigs, bark and other available nesting materials.
- Communication: Squirrels are extremely vocal – they bark, chatter, scream, and purr to communicate with one another. They also communicate through body language, by moving their tails and stomping their feet.
- Food Caching: In warmer months when food is more abundant, squirrels cache (hoard) food like nuts for the winter. They will dig small holes in the ground to bury their food, and sometimes they will use abandoned burrows, flowerpots or other available locations to hide their stash for a later date.
