    That's terrible! Squirrels have chewed my...

    fuel tank on my Gator
    plastic storage shed
    battery terminal

    The latter, I wonder was it terminal? Can you imagine why a squirrel would chew a lead post?

    This is easy enough to explain once you think about it a little.

    The critter was only after all the corn that was in the fuel! :smoke:

    The two doggies... yep... and I had a cat one time, Floyd. Beautiful dark chocolate brown Burmese fellow. Athletic, rippling with muscles. Quite the stalker, killed 17 fast-as-lightning cat squirrels and I quit counting. He ate them. Floyd was faster. I felt sorry for the squirrels, nothing I could do when I let him outside, the hunt was on. And I fed him plenty of cat food. Needed raw meat, I suppose.

    Squirrels pulled off all of our sweet peppers. I didn't even know they ate peppers !
    Watched them hop away with them.
    Bastages.

    They USED to be green sweet peppers !
    Tons of Chipmunks and squirrels this year and I'm wondering if food is becoming scarce.
