General Information on Squirrel
The squirrel spends most of its time in trees, where he moves with great ease. More often found in the woods, it has adapted to the proximity of humans, and can often be found in parks and residential yards. It happens occasionally that a squirrel gets into a home and hides there. In this case, it can cause structural damage and leave feces. It is therefore recommended that a technician catches it and places the squirrel back into its natural environment.
The gestation period of the female lasts from 40 to 44 days and, on average, gives birth to 1 to 6 squirrels. In captivity, gray squirrels can live for 15 to 20 years, but in the wild, its lifespan drops to under 6 years due to the lack of food and water, diseases, predators and other environmental factors.
