Re: Fat squirrel!

Is there some law regarding releasing grey squirrels?

Re: Fat squirrel!

This was on the local BBC news this evening and at some point this afternoon had the most hits than any other news item on the web.

There is a law but it's only if the squirrel is taken into captivity for whatever reason, this one was still in the wild but trapped so I don't think it counts!

Re: Fat squirrel!

I purchased a similar globe feeder and found asquirrel trapped inside. So i phoned the RSPCA and explained i had a squirrel trapped inside. The lady on the other end of the phone couldn't believe it and was speechless. So i suggested to her that i'd get a pair of wire cutters to set the grey free. As soon as i went up to the feeder the Squiz bolted out as quick as it got in! Another purchase in the bin!!!! I have the perfect feeder to mind i just need somebody with the skills to make the prototype. Obviously this could end up in a battle in its self?
