I am having a hernia repair done in two weeks, so will be going to the doctor's frequently until then, and hope to get LOTS of squirrel pictures.

Thanks Stevie, but I guess that your chances of getting a squirrel in Australia is about as good as my chances of getting a Wombat or Tazzy here in the States.

Thorbius, I certainly will be looking forward to seeing those! My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.

Everyone else in the family laughed their butts off at him and thought he was crazy because around here you don't keep squirrels as pets, you hunt them. But I'm just in rural hunting area here. I think that they are cute.......and I could never hurt any animal. Are they really tame, will they come sit with you?

But I was so busy feeding them around the clock that I didn't have time to take any pictures until they got older and required less feedings a day. Sid, and Mimz had just opened their eyes and Tina opened hers about a day after I got her. My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.

What ever that little squirrel was doing it looks like it was "Digging to China" . My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.

I think that there are still some in the mid-lower sections but here they have for the most part been hunted out and are on the endangered list. It is now illegal to kill one, keep one or in anyway have one here now. But I do love my little grays which depending on what part of the country you are in range in different sizes. the California and upper parts of the country they get rather large (2 lbs. or more). Around the southern states Lousianna, Miss., Ala., Georia, and upper Fla. they run on average around 1 and 1/2 to 2 pounds but in the Fl. Keys they are very small. At full grown adult is about the size of a 4 to 6 month old gray here. About a half a pound or a little less. My next house will have no kitchen - just vending machines and a large trash can.

I haven't seen one in awhile but I haven't been near their preferred habitat. Kingdoms RAGE and go to war...but the PEasants plant potatoes.. EARTH FIRST! (we'll strip-mine the OTHER planets later.)
