Young Squirrels Visible Soon
An interesting fact about squirrels is that most females give birth to two litters per year.
Most of us correctly associate spring as a time of year when a lot of baby animals are born including squirrels. But, understanding that squirrels have given birth for the second time this year answers a lot of questions when it comes to summer squirrel removal.
If you have an adult, female squirrel living in your house currently, it is a pretty good bet that baby squirrels are already here.
Trapping squirrels this time of year means that mother and babies must be removed from a home.
Squirrels Develop After Birth: Quickly
Born hairless and with their eyes closed, squirrels develop rapidly.
These squirrels were removed from a home on July 9th.
As you can see, they are tiny!
After 5 weeks they open their eyes and are covered with fur. After about 10 weeks they are developed enough to be able to leave the nest on their own.
As we near September, the young squirrels will make themselves known as they start leaving the nest and become noisier. Noises in ceilings, attics, and walls are heard as the litter mates interact with each other and wait for mom to return with food.
