There are several species of squirrels, but the best-known species of squirrel living in the wild is the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris). These acrobatic little rodents easily jump from tree to tree in search of their favorite food: acorns!

Squirrels live 3 to 7 years in the wild, and up to 10 years in captivity.

When is the best time to feed the outdoor squirrel?

Squirrels are active during the day, actually all day long. They go back to their burrow just before sunset and come out again just after sunrise. Squirrels are like many other rodents, very curious and like to come and see new things.

What do squirrels like?

Acorns are a favorite of the squirrel! Although this is not the only thing they eat. Squirrels are actually a bit omnivorous, because they eat besides plant food such as nuts, bark, spruce, pine trees also insects.

What is the best way to feed squirrels?

It doesn't really matter, but the animals would certainly appreciate a little challenge. In America, people sometimes make entire playgrounds in the garden for the squirrels and it's great to see how the animals acrobatically climb over everything to get to their beloved acorn!

How do I know if I have squirrels nearby?

Squirrels sleep in trees, it doesn't necessarily have to be a whole forest. If there are a few trees, especially oak trees, in the area, then there is a good chance that there are also squirrels nearby. You can test this by making a feeding place for the animals.
