Sleepy Squirrels (Golden Sturdy Shape Books)

Product Information

If you can’t stand being bitten or scratched, then you shouldn’t consider raising a squirrel as a pet. They love jumping and you’ll find them jumping on you from high places, plus they will climb all over you.

They prefer coniferous forests due to their preference for the seeds and nuts of pine trees. They will also eat fruit, eggs, and berries. But first, let’s take a look at a time when they made popular pets. A Little Bit of History on Squirrels as Pets There are situations when flies will lay eggs on the wound. You will need to remove all the eggs immediately with a pair of tweezers or else they will hatch into maggots and cause more problems. Dehydration Though hibernation looks a lot like sleep, it’s not the same thing. Instead, hibernation conserves energy through extreme inactivity. Emphasis on the extreme: As Arctic ground squirrels hibernate, their body temperature drops to 28 degrees Fahrenheit. Not only is that below freezing, it’s the lowest recorded body temperature of any mammal! This feat is called “supercooling.” Entire organs slow, or shut down. But every few weeks, the squirrels shimmy, shiver, and shake, for hours at a time, warming themselves up just enough to stay alive.
