A Squirrel Takes My Blue Towel For Her Nest! | Candy the Squirrel

We gave Candy a blue towel when it was cold and we were happy to see her use it :)

Squirrels are very intelligent and entertaining.

I’m so disappointed in these people. That cute squirrel deserves Egyptian cotton with a high thread count, not craft store felt. And that color is sure to clash with her nest decor!! She’s an autumn squirrel. A golden yellow blanket would really highlight the multi tonal quality of her fur.

Of course! And some throw pillows to match!!

The next day, the squirrel was arrested and charged with theft and was sentenced to more acorns and towels.

Actually the squirrel got a lawyer come to find out that the state requires two-party consent for recording and she didn't have the squirrels consent... So not only was she let off without being charged... The peeping Tom with the camera got fined $500

I had a mama squirrel take a towel from my porch to make a nest inside of a tire/wheel on my balcony. I didn't know much about squirrels at the time. If i had, i would've just moved the nest. It was right in front of my door, though. She had her babies rolled up in the towel, lined up along the inside of the wheel, perfectly! Be careful with the cardboard. You don't want her to slip and fall. She's so sweet!

[@stevefrandsen7897]

So smart to fold it up so as not to trip on it

[@supersquirrel7546]

Squirrels are brilliant. They know the principles of thermal energy enough to know how to insulate their nests. Years ago I used to leave out cotton balls for both squirrels and birds. They seem to know physics as well as we do.

[@Vogel-]

So cute. I remember we once placed a Santa hat outside for decoration on Christmas and little squirrels would take parts of it to warm their nests. :). Love them. 😀

Few days ago a squirrel came onto our terrace and tried to dismantle an old beanbag we had put outside after our cat mistook it for the litterbox last year. Obviously the cat smell had vanished over the winter and now the little guy was trying to burrow its way itno it . I actually managed to bribe it away with an apple ^^ Fun fact: Now the same squirrel comes around every morning and collects its protection fee in form of a cut up apple ^^

[@laurelwilkinson2594]

Gimme the apple, or the beanbag buys it!

[@ssrmy1782]

Ah, the old 5-finger-discount.

[@barbarastrzykalski7070]

So cute! Squirrel is thinking every time I leave there is something left for me! 😂

[@kathyrobinson9959]

This is delightful. Hope everything is going well for Candy and family, you as well!

[@Eric-jo8uh]

She had the most upmarket nest in the neighbourhood.💕💕👍👍

[@Thesquirrel-friend]

It's a very beautiful video.😍😍 In my house, too, a squirrel was carrying cotton and fabric in a similar way, but she was building a nest for her babies. ❤ A few weeks later, it was discovered that she had given birth to three babies.🐿🐿🐿 😘

[@Otisbear480]

Less than $900 so no charges

They're such adorable little sh!tz, with their big floofy tails and little hands!

That squirrel stealing a towel 😂

[@DiahRhiaJones]

I love that she noticed the material and that she could take it with her. Shes gonna be in heaven come winter. So precious.

[@not1au]

Ate her snack, tested the material to see if she could work with it, and gone. Smart Squirrel.

[@TrueCrimeQueen]

Most adorable thief ever! ❤

[@mzkeekos]

Give her all the blankets!!

[@UrbanSquirrelVibes]

This is soooo cute. She's just taking her time, all comfortable.

[@squirrelgames275]

Very resourceful little squirrel!!

[@sunnyparadyse]

She must have been cold! ❤

[@teresaputnam7764]

Oh yes, very intelligent. I have one I named Baby and I taught him to come to me & to take his peanut out of my hand. He takes the peanut from my hand so gently. I just love him. 😊

[@Annie-ex3ge]

Well it was the perfect squirrel size blanket

[@ОлегКондрацкий-ф8ч]

Excellent! What a clever girl!

[@birbluv9595]

My squirrels consider anything i inadvertently leave outside overnight their property. Once, a gardening glove disappeared. They have chewed through plastic container covers to get the nuts inside. I can’t help laughing at them!

[@sunset6010]

So precious! ❤

[@eolsunder]

nice ! the nice person gave me some nuts to eat, and a blanket! awesome.

[@delilahboa]

That’s so amazing…..we have a pregnant female now, what’s the best things I can leave for her? Great video, I’ve subscribed ❤

[@CandytheSquirrel]

How precious little babies are on the way! For Candy, she found white cotton t-shirts and used them to build her nest but we have no idea where she got them they aren't ours😂 This seemed to work for cold dry weather, but if there is any rain, a material that doesn't hold on to water would be better. ❤

[@delilahboa]

@@CandytheSquirrel thanks so much…..my husband is about to lose a t-shirt in the laundry 😉……we actually think we saw her conceive, a frisky male had hold of her at the base of one of our trees 😮 …..we’ve looked on-line and it says she can be pregnant for about 44 days? If this is right, she would be due on 10th March…..we have no idea where she lives, but we’re leaving out plenty of nuts, seeds and fresh water every day, at least 4 squirrels visit us at the moment…….we have cameras everywhere around our deck where her food is so we’re hoping one day she will bring her babies to us…..we would love that! Thanks so much for your advice - Jan x❤x

[@CandytheSquirrel]

@@delilahboa How exciting! You're due any day now!! I hope she brings them by so you can see and meet them 🥰 Happy to hear they will be well taken care of!! 😊

I know when I make cat and animal houses for Ferrell colonies, they say to line to totes we use with straw (not hay). Straw wicks away moisture but keeps you warm where hay remains wet after it is soaked and can actually make you colder since it stays wet and gets moldy. Maybe leave out a little straw and wool is used for outdoor wear in cold climates such as wool socks for hunting and skiing etc because wool keeps you warm in very cold temps even if it gets wet. The problem with many materials is that they work well until they get wet and than can make the cold worse but straw and wool are both good at keeping warm even if wet. Not sure how safe either of those are for squirrels so double check with a search. I know sometimes humans think things are safe and they do more harm like for instance, birds and animals will often use animal fur or feathers for their nest as insulation but I watched a vide where a bird made a nest and used a clump of human hair, in assuming either a human cut their hair and threw the cut pieces in trash or maybe they cleaned out their brush of the hair that falls out when brushing and the bird thought it would be a good idea to use for nesting but human hair is extremely strong and hard to break and the mother birds wing became tangled in the human hair while she was tending to her babies and the more she struggled to get free, the more tangled she became and she was freaking out and stomped her babies before finally getting free and than was confused why her baby was dead. This was caught on a camera in a nest box and the guy wasn’t aware until next morning when he watched the video and he said if he had known he would have tried to help free her. Very sad. Now anytime, I clean out my brushes, I always put the hair in an empty juice bottle or something else sealed in trash can because i think about how strong human hair is and how many animals would use it for bedding.

[@birddayparties]

Candy's got good taste 🥰🥰The squirrels around my house took my insulation😅😅

[@Coffee240]

❤❤❤ my friend loved squirrels, she feed them, and had names for them , Susie, tore her screen from her door, she could see the peanuts, that fall they got in her attic , she was unaware they was there, they chewed her car wires, and late fall chewed her wires in the attic and burnt her house down. 😢

[@SueZeeQ-67]

I named the squirrel that keeps coming around for peanuts…Cornelius. 😃

[@paulettek3682]

I used to like squirrels. Then they started beheading my tulips every spring. They don't eat the blooms. I know it is squirrels because i saw one do it. Now I have to cage my tulips if I want to see the blooms.

[@matthewalexander2436]

Way too cute! ❤😂❤

thats going to be one very comfy nest

Next -- squirrel caught trying to sneak a sofa out of DFS...

[@TallBob2k]

I laid a wet towel over the top of my deck fence and much later when I went out to check on it. The middle of the towel was missing. Seems my local alpha squirrel needed nest material to.

[@charlesbutler8057]
