Crispin’s Dinnertime

36 Comments

What a grand winter home Crispin has!

His bedrooms are deep in the middle of the woodshed. You can see that the Scotchman (that pink float hanging on the left side) is still there. He hasn’t frayed quite ALL of the rope that’s holding it up … yet.

His kitchen and dining room are in the center of the house near the middle post. Zoom in if you want a better view of what’s cooking.

Lately it’s been the same old boring diet of walnuts, but at least they are pre-cracked to save on teeth.

Click on the video for a few shaky seconds of dinnertime.

Bon appetit!

    It is a delight to watch these nimble and well-mannered squirrels eat a nut while holding neatly between their paws. Anneli, let’s hope for a mild winter, so you don’t have to disturb the wood pile, Crispin’s home.

    I’m sure you know that one reason squirrels have to gnaw on things is to keep their teeth from growing too long. If they can’t gnaw, their teeth grow so much it makes them hard to eat. We always made sure that our pet squirrel had a piece of deer antler to gnaw on; out in the woods, they’ll do the same thing when they find a bit of bone. Of course, my inside squirrel also was given to gnawing on furniture, so there’s that.

    Those walnuts are a great idea: easier nutrition AND something to gnaw on!
