Col,
I was going to say something about that super glue......But I withdrew my comment...LOL


Good job I did I would have been reported !!

oops perhaps I should have worded the super glue comment slightly differently lol

I think those squirrels might go hungry this winter Maggie.

I can imagine them digging away thinking......"I'm sure I buried one somewhere here" lol

:o)

Believe me Colin he can fell trees! He'll uproot anything. Size no obstacle.

Climbing them shouldn't be a problem.

He is very agile on the trampoline.

I think some pubs do a roast squirrel on the menu...lol I could go into farming

mmmmmmm.........A la carte Sciurus caroliniensis. lol

:o))

For the last two or three years there has been a little white squirrel running around here.

Never see it with other squirrels. Seems to keep to itself.

Don't blame it. Those grey ones are real pests.

Whats Stevie on about first he wants me to send them off to the country now he wants me to teach them latin....Got to go now as have a 3.30am start for work.....I will check back tomorrow to see if you have solved the mind boggling conundrum

lol Aileen......I've never seen a white grey squirrel. But there are also black grey squirrels.

No I haven't swallowed a dictionary Maggie.........just googled it.

Apparently the latin name for our native red squirrel is Sciurus vulgaris .......who named it that!.....poor ickle thing.

:o)

oops double posted. lol

Hi Stevie,

This is a real albino one.

See the odd red squirrel but mostly grey round here and some of them are vicious little devils if you don't let go of the monkey nuts quick enough.

Can be a bit of a nightmare if you have young children wanting to feed them. They can give you a painful nip.

I worked for Victim Support for 10 years lol.I could think of some names for the criminals ,but the name squirrel never came up LOL.I think this could be a new one.

Hi, Col.Try theRSPB feeders.the web site is www.rspbshop.co,uk Iv got one and its great .By the way the greas are vermin but the reds are protected.

Hmmm!

a small piece of .177 lead implanted behind the ear takes their mind off nicking nuts!!

I have terrible problems with the little bleepers too, they dig up everything I plant and I can't feed the birdies either. I was told that cayenne pepper deters them, but I haven't found that to be true. I also bought a sonic repellent thingy - sends out a high pitched noise that only small mammals and young children (true) can hear - doesn't seem to overly bother them though.

hoping to get a pup in the next couple of months, hopefully that will do the trick lol

good luck! if you find the solution then please let me know!
