I have squirrels like these all over my house. Sure they are cute and cuddly but they run all over your roof all night long collecting nuts while you try and sleep. It's payback time...

We call them tree Rats here in Britain,

I felt sorry for the little fella! but here in Britain we used to have nice big Red Squirrels who were native to our shores. In the late 1900's a rich family imported these nice small cute grey ones from North America to roam around the large country house garden they owned, the Grey's started to kill the peace loving Red's and now you only find them in the very north of Britain (Scotland) and on islands. I imagine when the Grey's find a way to build a boat from nut shells the Red's will be doomed on their island paradise's as well!! :lol:
