Über/aidje- thirsty buggers. Nice.
Yes all the time from the pond in our backyard. ICK!
neat stuff! the videos were hilarious.
A squirrel fell into my pool once. I saved his life.
In my last house we had a little bird bath that squirrels seemed to frequent more than the birds! They defintely like to drink a lot of water and wash up when they can. It was pretty cute to see them daintily lean over and sip water from the edge of the bird bath.
They’re in my birdbath all the time.
Yes, squrills drink water,but not much. I have a squrill,and he only takes a couple of sips of water after eating.
Squirrels drink out of our birdbath a lot. Actually, so we have this big pot of water on our terrace and one day I was watching a member of the squirrel population take a drink out of it when his little squirrel “friend” pushed him in. He was thrashing around and I was beginning to worry that I’d have to save him (and get rabies) when he pulled himself out.
Though, another time, a squirrel wasn’t as lucky. Twas sad.
We feed squirrels nearly every day. I wondered about water during this drought. I put a small cup with ice in it and then added water. After a few days I noticed the squirrels dipping their heads in the cup and staying in there for 10 – 15 seconds. They seemed to love being cooled off.
