Squirrels Chewing Through Window Screens

March 15, 2011

A squirrel sitting outside a window.I made a big mistake in the summer time. A baby squirrel came to my window and I felt so bad for it. It was such a little thing. Well, winter time came and I had to stop feeding her, she grew so big. Now her food source has stopped and she got crazy and started chewing my screens. I finally chased her, but she still keeps coming back chewing on my screen. Please help.

Kindness s never a mistake. She is your baby and having a hard time finding something to eat. She is starving and associates your kindness with food to survive. Please don't kill her with ammonia.

She will acclimate slowly to the wild but for now she needs food you have to offer in order to survive. She doesn't have the ability to find it on her own.

As kids, we raised baby squirrels. They slept with us and got off the bed to pee on paper. Ate with us, enjoyed outdoors, and scratched at the door to come in.

This totally changed when mating season came. We could never touch them again. They would come close. It was like "Hi, good to see ya". We so loved them. It was gratifying to know they were safe and happy.

Please don't torture your baby by not feeding. She is starving. Help her for a little while until she acclimates. To throw her outside with nothing is cruel. You showed her love before. Don't kill her by taking everything away.

Why don't you put a feeder close to the window and feed her. She will still have a full belly and you can still watch her!

Apparently Einstein Squirrel climbed onto my new window box and chewed his way in and out through the screen.
