I built a new squirrel house for my pet squirrel Ganesha. I was at Lowes and bought 2 hanging flower baskets, mounted the top one upside down and wired it to the bottom one. Inside is lined with paper towels and a towel. I cut a hole in the top so he can crawl in and out. He’s big enough to jump to the tree and back.

Squirrels normally live in hollowed out trees. This is a hollowed out tree simulator. It was also cheap and easy to build.

This is an inside view lifting up the towel that he likes to sleep under. You can see more pictures of Ganesha here.

He’s a happy little squirrel.

    We have a line about squirrels. “Country rats with fuzzy tails…”

  3. bobbo, on the line between city and country says:

    Used to have squirrels everywhere here. Now there are none. Combination of neighbor feeding all the stray cats and a hawk that set up residency in the eucalyptus trees.

    Too bad all gods creatures can’t get along with one another.

    Keep him safe.

    You should call Ganesha’s home Kailash.

    Squirrel’s are rats with good PR but they taste good if prepared properly.

    You made a good funny!

    Like # 11 Thomas I am surprised and impressed.

    Maybe, you are not a strange Martian Alien Species after all. 🙂

    Sarcasm aside, my brother in law is eating squirrel meat right now. He swears that they taste good but I’ll pass 🙂

    But dog meat! Yum *vomits*

    Ok, you are going to heaven. Now back to real news.

  15. Mr Diesel says:

    Good job Marc.

    Don’t know about going to heaven but at least when you die the squirrels might not eat your nuts.

    Have a good holiday.
