So they eat the dead, didn’t know that.

Has anyone seen them actively hunt and kill, decapitate and eat the vital organs like this?
It’s kinda freaky in my mind.

Are meat eaters now?😳

I’ve heard from people that own chickens that squirrels have stolen eggs before, but hunting, killing and eating vital organs of Voles?
That’s news to me.

I got hit with those Voles in my back yard end of last summer while I was out of state, fucked it up good.

I have a huge willow tree out back that's been home to squirrels for as long as I can remember, some mornings they come up on the deck and stare through the slider saying hi.

Wish they would have gutted those bastards.

On my property a squirrel shows up from time to time but has to run for his life as soon as one of the pups sees him. I believe he now shows up for the chase game BUT....its dangerous for him as they will rip him apart if they get him.....lol

Squirrels galore around here. I've never witnessed that behavior.

I've seen a squirrel drag a dead one back in a hole .
Same here. Had a friend who lived i cen cal. They had squirrel problems I’d take my 22 and shoot what I could. Some would be dead at top of hole.

Them suckers would take it back into the hole.
