I'm wierd I guess, l love squirrels ... and mice. Hope you don't feed the mice to the snake

I had a squirrel I fed peanuts to daily, he was so used to having them that if I forgot or ran out he would jump & slam up against the window to let me know his displeasure; what a hoot!
Zeus was a baby so he could only eat pinkie size. To make sure he was on a healthy diet, we would get the (frozen) ones from the store. We could never consider feeding one family member to another! Just because our mice were uninvited and unintentional doesn't mean a thing to us. They are still very much part of our family. They are very entertaining, have their own personalities and we feel each death as they pass. We do know however, they probably won't last
through the end of the year.

Domestic mice have a very short life expectancy and our little wild ones entered the twilight of their lives months ago.
Your squirrel sounds like he was as spoiled rotton as our squirrels are! I
buy them peanut butter crackers and they absolutely love them! Last week when we were leaving for work, I had forgotten to grab a pack of crackers to share. There was Pacino on the tree giving me the "look". I remembered I had some peanut butter cookies I baked in my lunch so I shared one with him. Hanging on with only his back feet, he lunged for the cookie! Crazy acrobat! They do so love all things peanut!
