Just curious, but I put out food and water for the squirrels on my apartment balcony. I live on the 3rd floor and they jump over from a hanging tree branch and munch away from sun up to sun down, but I never see one stop by when it’s dark.
Where do they go at night? and they don’t eat at night?
The reason I’m confused is because I know that other similar animals like apossums, racoons, skunks and such are always seen more after dark than in the daytime, so I figure that is when they come out in search of food.
So, are my squirrels just so well fed that they don’t have to bother?? LOL
Also, am I hurting the squirrels by feeding them? They aren’t tame and they would never come up to me, but I do sit in my living room and watch them throughout the day stop by and have their fill of peanuts, corn, sunflower seeds, and bird seeds…..and water too. It’s so cute to see them drinking out of the water dish….lol.
Thanks for any info you have.
