After putting it up, and assuming there was just one male grey squirrel in there, I was quite surprised to see 3 little ones pop out. Two have remained very close to the box, while the third has ventured off. My only regret is that there is no way to tell them apart from my regular squirrel population. It would be interesting to see just how many of them stay in my area. Nonetheless, thank you for the information regarding the program. Kate, I brought my first squirrel box home yesterday.

The squirrels will be full-grown by the time they leave the Wildlife Center. Their real challenge will be hawks & owls! Possible, but doubtful as regards the cats.

However, there is also a colony of feral cats who traverse the area. Squirrel cubs sound like dinner?
