i understand the cons of feeding squirrels but i feel the pros outweigh it. my neighbor seems to think i am the cause of her rodent problems and yelled at me yesterday and threaten to call the city on me. i checked and it’s not illegal to feed them. I don’t leave table food out, it’s all high quality feed and it’s in a feeder at the back end of my yard. my neighbor has set up mouse trap to kill any chipmunk/squirrels/etc. that get on her property. i don’t agree with what she is doing but i can’t tell her what to do so i don’t feel she has a right to tell me what to do either! i am not the only one feeding in the neighborhood and my feeding is not the cause of her problems. i really don’t want to start a war but i don’t see why i need to change my lifestyle to accommodate her. i want to continue to enjoy my home/yard but it’s hard now cuz of her. what should i do? give in? continue to live my life the way I want to live it? Serious comments please! thanks!
if she agree to stop killing then i will stop feedubg but she will continue to kill so what’s the point? am i putting innocent lives in the line of fire? i could be but with or without me, the squirrels will find their way to her property. note, i don’t put out 3 meals a day for them, it’s only occassionally whenever i have time to get out there so i don’t see how they will be “dependent” on my food and “can’t survive” on their own.
i called the city – it is not illegal to feed at all – there are just guidelines to follow (no food on the ground and feeder has to be 4ft above ground). there is no point talking sense into her, i tried and she yelled and screamed for 15mins and shut the door on me. she has been complaining to other neighbors about it too and i feel i am being unjustly “ganged up” on. The point is, i am sorry she is having problems with rodents but i am not the cause of her problems so i shouldn’t be blamed for it. i already have to taped up all the windows facing her home so i don’t witness her “murdering” the critters…what else can i do? last i checked, i am the one paying for the house, not her!
An edit of my favorite scene from Disney’s “Up”. Thanks to my best friend for showing me this movie and rewinding this moment over and over again, hereby giving me the inspriration to do it. xD Hope you like it! ^^ “Up” is property of Disney and Pixar. I don’t own anything.
Okay okay, so they were actually really docile. But they were pretty crazy. Please note that none of the squirrels were harmed, and as far as we know, none of them have been harmed or relocated. The keeper of the rest stop we were at is aware and totally okay with people ‘visiting’ the squirrels, or we would have not gotten near them. So there was no harm done. 4/28 #99 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – Canada #18 – Top Favorites (Today) – Pets & Animals #40 – Top Rated (Today) – Pets & Animals 4/29 #6 – Most Discussed (Today) – Pets & Animals #64 – Most Discussed (This Week) – Pets & Animals #79 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – Australia #19 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – Canada #38 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – United Kingdom #81 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – New Zealand #28 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals #65 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – Hong Kong #96 – Most Viewed (Today) – Pets & Animals – Taiwan #10 – Top Favorites (Today) – Pets & Animals #9 – Top Rated (Today) – Pets & Animals #94 – Top Rated (This Week) – Pets & Animals 5/1 #25 – Most Discussed (This Week) – Pets & Animals #50 – Top Favorites (This Week) – Pets & Animals #62 – Top Rated (This Week) – Pets & Animals 5/4 #31 – Most Discussed (This Week) – Pets & Animals #83 – Most Viewed (This Week) – Pets & Animals – Canada #100 – Most Viewed (This Week) – Pets & Animals #41 – Top Favorites (This Week) – Pets & Animals #54 – Top Rated (This Week …
Recently moved here from Nevada. Put out bird feeders. A little critter came out of the woods to eat the spilled seeds. It was reddish brown with stripes down his back. Got a good look cause the deck is only about 8 feet from the ground. I think it was a chipmunk, only about 4 times bigger than any I have ever seen.. I am from Ohio originally. So I know a raccoon, rat, skunk, squirrel even a flying squirrel. If he was a chipmunk, it was the biggest one I have ever seen. Any suggestions?
Fnally got a good picture with the help of my neighbors. took it to the humane society. didn’t know where eles to go.. said it was a badger. thank you for taking the time to answer my question
Went to the beach this past weekend and there were these cute little chipmunks or squirrels running around. Which do you think it is? I fed them. Boooyaaaa, bring it Snow White!
