"Here's the story - shot a rook for messing on the back step, hung corpse to discourage the others, then squirrel walked the cane and spent 10 mins nibbling away at the rooks wing-joint! This leaves one big Q - would a squirrel eat a rabbit?" Thought I'd share it every heard of similar? Edited April 6, 2010 by utectok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepe Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 We do know they eat meat so I guess any meat may be ok. Maybe next time put a few choices out and see what it goes for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM1979 Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hello there, Funny that as i was looking at a video on the tinternet, of a Grey Squirrel attacking a snake, somewhere in the USA. It didnt kill it, but you could see the snake had bite marks and some blood in 3 areas along it body. The snake was big enought to kill the snake easy.. but the sqiggle kicks its backside all over the road. And they do eat meat when needed Talking of sqiggles ... not had one in my garden for a week... saw 2 in next doors Was tempted to shoot em ggggrrrrrrrr Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
