fWhat is really funny is that we have a telephone pole next to our front porch at office. They hang upside down from their back legs/paws and eat the nuts we put out for them. We do not do shelled nuts anymore because they got so messy, but I buy the whole shelled nuts and there is less mess. I had a momma one a couple of years ago and she could come into the office onto the file cabinet and sit and eat the nuts with me at my desk watching her. She did not care and was not afraid of you. She had four babies in one of the spool wire reals on the warehouse shelf. She got ran over and we rescued the babies and took to the vet which is "licensed" to take care of baby squirrels.
