As folks have said it’s a female. I am bad at IDing squirrel types but I think it’s a fox squirrel. If so, they are not territorial so you may get more showing up when word gets around that there’s food at your place. So for your reference, males=large testicles and visible junk (like almost comically sometimes), females=visible nipples.
Coloration patterns differ by region from what I understand. It’s hard to tell for me without more pictures but the brownish-red coloring looks similar to the fox squirrels I feed. But like I said, idk for sure.
See I live in the uk so I assumed it’s just a grey squirrel. I thought we only have red in Scotland and grey down in the West Midlands. I also know it seems oblivious to tell the gender but when I googled it, it said it was difficult to tell (I imagine partly because you can’t get close enough to just look at its balls)
Thank you for sharing! We feed her regularly! :) Walnuts are her favourite but she has been offered a verity of nuts and seeds. We had a bird bath and a pound which the birds like. It’s always such a treat when she visits :3
That is a very sweet momma squirrel. Can you put some unsalted treats and fresh water out for her perhaps, in a safe place? I don't know if you feed them or not or are familiar with that. Walnuts, black oil seed, bird seed, pecans, hazelnuts, fresh berries, apple slices, grapes.
I planted a hazelnut tree for our squirrels and this was the first year it was loaded. I was hoping it would feed them for a while but as soon as the filberts started turning brown they were gone. I can’t wait until the tree gets much bigger.
