No, you don't lol. If you have 12 fox squirrels, you have one breeding male, his harem, and maybe 3-4 eunic males. A dominant male fox squirrel will castrate any males born within his territory via bite. They do this to avoid competition.
That's great work you're doing, Ms. Kate. I like the Fox Squirrels; they're beautiful creatures and an enjoyment to watch. My wife and I have a few on our property, and after hearing they are slightly on the decline, I am very thankful of that.
@@queenicedcoffee4217 Hey... thanks! I will put some out for them. My wife has been feeding some flying squirrels nightly with diy bark butter. If you'd like to check that out, see Shay Standard Photography.
I just found a family of them in my backyard in charlotte been blessing them with all my walnuts and cashews i’m allergic so they been enjoying all the bags I have for some reason
They populate the long leaf pine forest in Alabama. We have them living in our area of Montgomery County. We also have a small population in Washington County. Both places have towering pines, and big Red Oaks, Water Oaks, Persimmon.
I forgot to mention they are a lot more shy than grey squirrels. We have always hunted grey squirrels, but we do not hunt the Fox Squirrel. They are beautiful creatures and rare.
I have some hunting lease property that my family has been apart of since the 90’s. Central Florida, I’ll see a few a year. Then saw one just today about 100 miles north and 100 miles west, near brooks ville on the side of the road. All the ones I’ve seen here are mostly brown with a black mask over their eyes, black back and black tail. Some will have black feet.
I can certainly tell the difference between an adult fox squirrel and grey. But I don't recall seeing a young squirrel looking like anything other than a grey squirrel. We've had fox squirrels for over a decade. Do fox squirrels only show colors and blunter noses and other characteristics when adults? Or do young fox squirrels hide more? ?????
They are visibly larger than regular squirrels. Impressive. I used to think fox and gray squirrels were the same thing.
Agree and still so confused. lol
My fav type of squirrel, and are or were super abundant in Michigan for years.
Also a Michiganiac!
Yes they are
I have fox squirrels in my yard about 6 breeding pairs. They are awesome squirrels and I've been able to get fairly close to them after 10 years.

They love peanuts the most if you want to feed them 🥜

The first time I spotted one in eastern nc I had to do a double take, they are very pretty and striking little critters

Man I found one of the grey with the black face ones in northern flordia a few months ago
I have them in my backyard in Pittsburgh. They bark like dogs and weigh like 10lbs apiece
Monstrous

Not as many babies as rabbits....? I mean, that might be a high standard.
Thanks for this!!!!
Hunters foaming out the mouth. lol
No? Why would they?
I hope your not separating a bonded pair by relocating a squirrel.
Can fox squirrels mate with regular gray or black squirrels, and if so, what is the result??
No as far as I know they hate each other... Seen them fight many times
Okay so I am in NE Columbia and I saw one should I be concerned for the lil guy?
no.
How are they considered a small rodent?
I would bet capybaras and beaver are examples of a large rodent while squirrels, mice, and such would be considered small
@@davidsiffer4374 I would agree
