Interesting Facts about Squirrels: During their first seven weeks they will nurse milk, and then they will eat nuts, acorns, wheat, fruit, bird's eggs, and mushrooms. Sometimes they will also eat leaves, berries, seeds, oak buds, and corn as well as insects, moths, bird eggs and nestling birds. What they eat depends on the time of year. For example, nuts and acorns are typically eaten during the fall. A squirrel needs about two pounds of food a week. If it can't find it, it will move. When they leave their nests in the summer, young squirrels sometimes need to move to new homes in less crowded woods. The old squirrels drive them away.
Squirrels will typically gather and save nuts and acorns during the last week of autumn, however, they don't eat most of them. Squirrels need calcium in their diet. Calcium is a mineral necessary for the squirrels to keep healthy teeth to be able to bite into an acorn. Without strong teeth, they can starve to death.
Squirrels can live up to 10 or 12 years. After six years, they are considered old squirrels. There are about 300 varieties of squirrels around the world. In North America there are ten. Examples are the red/brown squirrels that live in evergreen trees and eat seeds of pine cones and the gray squirrel which lives in woods of oaks, ashes, and beeches and mainly eats beech nuts and acorns.
