During cleanup from Hurricane Charley
we found this baby squirrel on my neighbors roof. His name is Charley.

That's a squirrel?
You have odd squirrels over the pond.

q.v. a normal squirrel
( Deebster, Sat 21 Aug 2004, 23:45, archived)

It's only a baby.

(Astatine, Sat 21 Aug 2004, 23:46, archived)

So
he will grow a normal bushy squirrel tail?

That's a relief - for a bit I was thinking you couldn't use squirrels to clean toilets

Silly

I can honestly say i have never seen
a baby squirrel before. I always thought baby squirrels were guinea pigs.

how exactly are they
a problem?
(treehugger anti-everything, Sun 22 Aug 2004, 0:00, archived)

they damage trees
causing them 2 die.
generally not good for a woodland.
and the grey ones are not native and have very few predators

Possibly the cutest thing ever
I envy you your baby squirrel
( valley, Sun 22 Aug 2004, 0:09, archived)

grey squirrels are vermin
you are legally obliged to kill it, and it's illegal to release it back into the wild. Looks like you've either got a pet, a cute squirrel's death on your hands or a criminal reccord. Which would you prefer?
