Several years ago, I adopted an orphaned squirrel. I named him Mr. Chips – it sounded appropriately squirrelly – and started searching the internet for information about squirrels. Though I had trouble finding good, reliable answers to my questions on the web, I was able to raise Mr. Chips to adulthood and release him into the wild backyard.
I created howlongdosquirrelslive.com to share some of what I learned along the way and provide research-based answers to commonly asked questions about squirrels. Whether you are raising a baby squirrel yourself or simply want to know more about your furry backyard neighbors, I hope you find this website useful!
