What is a group of squirrels called?

A dray of squirrels.What is a group of squirrels called?
I agree with Aldette Fleur.. a group of squirrels is called a Dray.What is a group of squirrels called?
A Dray of Squirrels. The collective noun taken from the name of the nest they build.





Also, not all squirrels are solitary. The red squirrel is , whereas the grey squirell is only solitary during summer as they gather in large numbers during winter for the warmth.





Nice question.
A nusance!!
I don't think there is name for that!
Squirrels are solitary animals. They don't stay in groups like fish or lions.
Squirrels are solitary animals. They do not have a hierarchical structure, and therefore, no group name was established.
I remember calling a group of squirrels ';Freshmen';.

  • Any help with fly squirrels?

    I have two flying squirrels. 1 boy and 1 girl. My boy is ok with me. He likes to lick honey of my finger. But I have problems bonding with him. He will not sleep in his bonding pouch. I put a leash on him but he went crazy. I've had him for about 3 weeks and I want to know how to bond with him better. Any help?Any help with fly squirrels?
    First off do you have flying squirells or lesser flying phalangers. There is a big difference. I am going to assume you have the lesser flying phalangers since they are the ones you use a bonding pouch for. They are marsupials and flying squirells are rodents. Anyhow you need to do things slowly. You should not try to leash them until they are bonded to you otherwise you will freak them out. Honey is good for training and you said you've started that. Step one get him to eat off your finger, step two get him to walk into your hand on his own. Step three take him out to play. When out to play always scoop them not grab them. Keep treats handy and reward calm affectionate play. When useing a bonding pouch make sure it's near your heart so they can hear your heart beat also put something with your scent in with them. Always work with both together. They feed of eachothers confidence. Good luck.

    Why don't squirrels ever fall out of trees?

    The claws allow them to grip tree trunks, and the tail aids in balance.Why don't squirrels ever fall out of trees?
    Cause they're pretty well adapted to trees.


    They can hold onto em well with their claws, their big tail provides balance, and I'm guessing their brains also evolved to match well, giving them whatever behavior will be best suited to not fall.Why don't squirrels ever fall out of trees?
    Oh yeah they do, especially the babies, I've seen some dead babies that have fallen from trees :-(
    haha I think cause they have really big claws...... maybe....
    cause their cool
    cuz they can fly

    What do i do i found little baby squirrels?

    i found 4 baby squirrels in my backyard and i watched them a little then i descided to leave them there for the mom to pick them up i went to eat out and hang out with friends thenin 2 hours i cames back and the squirrels were still there just wher i left them i took the baby squrrels to my house and i feel bad for them but i have no idea how to help them what should i do????What do i do i found little baby squirrels?
    You need to take them to the closest wildlife rehabilitation center.


    There they'll be able to successfully raise and release the squirrels back into their habitat.What do i do i found little baby squirrels?
    Like Nixity said, contact a Wildlife Rehabilitator in your area. You should be able to locate one either in the Yellow Pages or by going to the business section of your phone book. You can also look online.





    Also, look online to find out all you can about feeding and caring for baby squirrels because it could take a little bit of time for the Wildlife Rehab person to get back to you and you want to try to keep them alive in the meantime. Babies need warmth, water, and food frequently. Most of the rehabbers do this as volunteers and some of them have other full-time jobs.
    Well, the Mama might still be around, but who knows? She could be out in the street, if you know what I mean. You should get them a box with warm material in it that won't get their claws stuck in it. Put them close to where you found them, out of reach of cats and give them some softened cat food or wheat bread, whatever you have that seems like healthy squirrel food.


    We once found a baby squirrel that had fallen out of the nest in our bird house ( the squirrel mama took over the bird house) We made sure it was ok, and looked after it for a while. Mama finally came looking for him after several hours, I was surprised how long she took to do so. Anyway, she took him back up to the bird house and he was fine.
    raise them. I don't know how but my sister has done it and she still has the crazy little brat. If you have children, you may want to give them to someone you trust. They get crazy and love to play and bite.
    Squirrels are vermin. Tree rats. Kill them, and do us all a favour, please

    Are reincarnated human souls reborn into a human or reborn into murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels?

    Hopefully not the latter.


    Reincarnation depends on your Karma.





    ';If it be that good men and good women, who receive and retain this discourse, are downtrodden, their evil destiny is the inevitable retributive result of sins committed in their past mortal lives. By virtue of their present misfortunes the reacting effects of their past will be thereby worked out, and they will be in a position to attain the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment';Are reincarnated human souls reborn into a human or reborn into murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels?
    I hope it's into a human, but I've purchased reincarnation insurance just in case: it pays if you don't come back at all.Are reincarnated human souls reborn into a human or reborn into murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels?
    definitely the mouse and squirrel thing
    LMAO murderous mice?
    LOL...I want to be a squirrel
    Depends upon what kind of karma they accumulated in their previous life.
    reincarnation?
    You know, that would explain why NYC has so many cockroaches.





    *snare snare CRASH*
    I prefer the enigmatic elephants.
    some believe that the soul can go wherever it needs in order to learn a lesson, but murderous and psychopathic personalities aren't chosen, they develop out of spiritual malady. you'll only become a murderous mouse if your soul chooses to reincarnate into a mouse and then you refuse to accept the spiritual lesson you went there to learn.
    no some are reborn as SARS,AIDS virus also
    Of course not, mice and squirrels don't have human souls. You have been up to long and you need a good nights rest. I really hope you don't dream about murderous mice and psychopathic squirrels. Good night and sleep tight, and above all sweet dreams.
    There is no such thing as reincarnation.
    no such thing as reincarnation!

    Why do squirrels bury their nuts this time of year?

    To store them for the winter when there won't be much other food.They do not hibernate despite some people thinking they do-they just spend most of their time in their drey (squirrel nest high up a tree) during cold weather,only coming out a few times a day to dig up a few stored nuts.Why do squirrels bury their nuts this time of year?
    Since winter is coming up squirrels are storing nuts as food to keep them through the winter.Just like us they get cold and so have to stay inside their shelter for the whole winter or for a long period of time.They store nuts inside little hiding places where they can take and go without having to freeze themselves to death and or having to go and get food as nuts dont grow in winter.Why do squirrels bury their nuts this time of year?
    Just like you use your pantry a squirrel has to have a place to store his food for winter so when there is no other food sources because plants are dead or defoliated and the acorns are either under the snow or ice or other animals have eaten all of them like wild pigs, deer. raccoons and such. they will have enough food to survive the winter months.





    http://www.floridawildlifetrapper.com
    Since its still warm enough to hunt for food, they do so and then when its really cold , they could just dig up their food
    so they don't freeze off
    they are going to hibernate and they bury the nuts to store food , they do this because in the winter there's no time to hunt or gather food and its too cold .
    I bury my nuts at any time of the year.

  • Why did squirrels drown in swimmin pool?

    we recently came home to find 2 dead squirrels in our pool. the pool is 3ft. deep by 5ft. round. we do have a big tree with lots of branches over top of the pool%26gt; but are squirrels not good climbers? they jump from branch to branch all the time.could they not have been able to scratch there way out, as it is not that deep? and why 2 of them? was one going to save the other? it seems a little strange to have 2 dead drowned squirrels!!!!!Why did squirrels drown in swimmin pool?
    They want water and like to play but they are used to ponds and streams where there is always an easy access to get out.





    They don't realize the pool has sides like it does until it is too late.





    One way to prevents this squirrel tragedy from repeating itself would be to do what my family does with their pool.





    We actually built a miniature wood sail boat with a tiny mast and everything. The mast keeps it from goinf into the filter.





    Animals climb up on the sailboat and float around until we can come home and get the net to save their furry little butts.





    It also saves frogs, snakes and just about anything else that has found its way into our pool.





    You can also just buy a toy boat but make sure its at least big enough for a couple squrirrels!





    (Once, we came home and found a frog on the aft end, a mouse on the focsile and a small snake wrapped around the mast. They were glad to see us!)Why did squirrels drown in swimmin pool?
    I too have had drowned squirrels, but in my pond. I personally think they cant climb the slick sides. We put a plastic shelf-';squirrel ladder'; in and had no more drownings.
    Squirrels fall out of trees quite often. The sides of the pool were too slippery to get out. Try putting something on the edge dangling in the pool for them to climb out on.
    Poor things I love squirrels but they can't fly once in a while they fall. Sounds like they may have been fighting and fell, I do not know for sure.
    Their feet/claws aren't designed to cling to the plastic or metal that your pool is made out of. I'm sure they tried to climb out but just kept sliding back, gravity being what it is. Eventually they become exhausted and drown. Had a tree branch actually hung a little INTO the water, they would have gotten out.
    maybe they were too full of nuts? kidding.





    as good as they are, they fall, too! they must have been playing or something when they fell... poor things..





    even if they did reach the side, there probably wasn't anything for them to hold on to, and the sides must be too smooth for them! so if they couldn't hold on to the sides, they struggle. struggling makes you sink faster.. (and drown faster too.)





    squirrels aren't strong enough to scratch the tiles of your pool, anyway (i think.). and three feet may be shallow for us, but it sure is deep for little guys like them.





    don't worry, though, they're probably chasing each other in squirrel heaven now.
    I guess the sides of the pool were too smoothe for them to get a grip; and the second one probably did go in to help the first, sad isnt it? If you were to leave a thick piece of rope hanging over into the water, they can climb out on it.
    Most probably they try to see who is a better diver.


    But end up both death in the poor.
    Squirrels are good climbers and jumpers, but there was nothing in your pool for them to get a grip upon. The sides are straight up and down and slick.





    As for why there are two dead squirrels, perhaps they were chasing each other or playing and fell together.

    How Many Squirrels Can You Eat?

    more than u can count..my baby fetus child is really hungry..she enjoys the squirrels who ate alotta nuts...its like a candy bar with fur to her..How Many Squirrels Can You Eat?

    Whaaaaaaaaaaat ???????????? R U serious ??????


    eeewwwww i rather the nuts !!!!!!!!!!! lol lol
    Sqwerls by nature are evil. I believe one was perched next to the snake in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps they ate the fruit themselves or spread the seeds of destruction. Therefore if one were to eat a sqwerl they would consume a small amount of evil. More so, if they ate several sqwerls. I choose to be good hence, I do not eat sqwerls.
    My step dad fed me squirrel when I was little. I know now that it was just a rat with a fluffy tail!! Just wait till I get to pick his nursing home...
    All of them

    We've got loads of them out the back of our house. The only problem is I'm in Glasgow, Scotland, UK and our gun laws are a bit different.





    Cute, aren't they?
    Just get a trap, there are plenty in everyone's yard in new jersey.

    What do squirrels eat other than nuts?

    Profile of the Grey Squirrel





    The grey squirrel's diet consists mainly of nuts - especially acorns, beechmast, chestnuts and hazelnuts - but they eat a variety of other foods, including fruit, cereal crops, fungi and roots. They also eat the buds and shoots of many trees, and in hard times strip the bark - this has given them a bad reputation with foresters. They attack hardwood trees from twenty to forty years old, and especially sycamore and beech. They remove bark from the main stem or from branches to get at the bast and cambium layers below, which they eat. They do this in spring and summer, probably because of temporary food shortages.What do squirrels eat other than nuts?
    Fruits and eggs. A local species here gnaw through a coconut's (not a nut) husk and shell to eat the flesh inside.What do squirrels eat other than nuts?
    sunflower seeds !
    wolves
    baby birds and eggs, fruit pits, grass and weed seeds
    Small insects.

    Go see your therapist and they will help you sort through that one.
    Because being a predatory animal means having the devil in you?





    Of course you could always read dog training manuals.
