Squirrel Tube Maze

Squirrels navigate a maze of tubes and peanut feeders. There are three wooden mazes within the giant maze.

[@brendan8363]

Retire, they said. Get a hobby, they said. I’ll show them!

[@Lue_Ghosted]

Guess they never got a hamster cage as a kid for x-mas 😀 LOL

[@judycook4314]

I'm sort of late to this one, but I had to say I love it! You will never outsmart them totally, so making them work for the food and watching them work it out is priceless!

[@keithcleghorn5102]

I imagine that this setup was not cheap. But the entertainment factor must be worth it.

[@cordongrouch9323]

Squirrels are incredible pests. Worse than rats during the day. But rats are really bad at night. This must be 'round the clock entertainment.

[@bigbadcrazykillahbee]

awesome , could see this take off on a 24 /7 live camera:)

[@johnepperson8867]

Have to be the happiest squirrels on earth. So cool!!!

[@DoloresJRush]

Oh boy! Somebody had fun designing this squirrel playground! smile!

[@marisap09]

After watching Mark Rober’s squirrel video these recommendations don’t stop! Didn’t know this was a whole genre.

[@JiBBzYT]

This is pure GENIUS! I too shall build me one of these mazes too! I could just sit and watch all day! LOVE IT! Would love to see more!

[@NgaNguyen-wq4cc]

Lpp00p0llp0pp0ppppppppp0"0

[@cpyle55]

the one with the corn cob had me rolling with laughter. what a wonderful idea, entertainment for hours I'm sure.

[@NatureWitch]

I think it's hilarious. Someone put a lot of work into making that and it's awesome.

[@cucciologotico]

Lol pest controll incoming

[@tamajinn]

So cool that you had this idea and actually made it happen! The Squirrel Playground of Delights! What fun they will have in there, their children will pass down the tales for generations.

[@salamisalamibalogna4617]

The thing I like is there is a prize at every end it seems for the critters. No dead end frustration. Thanks for your kindness to the animals. They were here first and a lot of people forget that. I also have a squirrel circus in my front yard.

[@scootergem]

Absolutely GREAT! I could watch this for hours and hours. Keep 'em coming! PLZ

[@suzycowan5072]

Adorable, I could set up something like this outside our window where we sit and have coffee in the morning and never get anything done as we sit and watch the squirrels play in the maze to get their breakfast. I love this idea.!! My dad used to have a shelf of sorts fastened to his window so he could watch the squirrels, this is so much better. Thank you

[@barryisland5942]

Oh for a garden full of beautiful little people like that!

[@tripled921]

Build it and they will come. Even better news, you’ll never be short of squirrels for slippery pot pie when the season comes in!! Win/win.

[@kellwng]

The music was blocked but I think Super Mario brothers would be cool with all the sounds.

[@WaiferThyme]

ok htat has to be one of the coolest things i have ever seen!!!! and you can tell the squirrles are having a blast in it too!

[@dathyr1]

Great maze you have come up with to test the squirrels. They have to work a little bit to get their treats. take care.

[@valdesanchez6411]

Linda loves her squirrels!

[@caligirl3666]

No-one can hate on squirrel mazes. THEY'RE UNTOUCHABLE.

[@juril001]

This is so cool. I am sitting here contemplating building one of these. I like to challenge the squirrels in our backyard but nothing this elaborate.

[@patriotgrandma7970]

Squirrels are more fun to watch than birds!

[@DMan-G]

I choose to believe that the video maker is sitting there with a GoPro attached to his head and playing this sweet jazz naked.

[@marci3427]

I appreciate the time and hard work this must have taken!

[@bdh3949]

I'll bet your neighbors just love you for this.

[@elviradonaghy5422]

These squirrels love it!

[@nathanlangly4497]

Cool chill out video & cool jazzy Christmas music too! thumbs up :7)

[@bitchy_bitch5909]

On KZbin there are sites where they show you how make bunny colonies, and raise rabbits for food or as pets. Kind of like this - it's really cool stuff! For all it's worth; i'd get a bb gun and be compensated with a good hardy meal myself. It's a free range squirrel farm!

[@KutWrite]

Wonderful construction and entertainment! I had to stop after a minute, though, due to the shaky camera. You know, there's an option for KZbin to remove the shaking for you? You don't even have to re upload it. Just go to "edit video" and you'll see it.

[@daschwarz43]

This is a great solution for them to get a steady supply of food in the winter and not become fat. If they didn't like it they wouldn't be there. Looks like the work of a retired psychologists or engineer.

[@alexk7405]

watching this video with Super Mario music is much more entertaining

[@jonjon3719]

Wow he has some time on his hands. I know the feeling.i like it.

[@hypercube9720]

What a friken monstrosity, I love it

[@MCSilver]

Its a squirrel disneyland! Great vid!

[@tarmac245]

What a fun person. Great entertainment for all.

[@wallacewithoutgromit]

That squirrel with the orange tail looks more like a variation of the gray squirrel than it looks like a red squirrel.

[@e.mbruns5897]

Das ist eine Tolle Idee! Fantastisch 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@douglascorlett7890]

This great : ) This would be a good way to use up a bunch of junk in the garage : )

[@marcosloya4554]

Great work Linda, I love you for that.

[@lynnerowlands5052]

I could watch this all day it amazing they like to explore

[@james123921]

That maze has more exits than entrances :)

[@echodelta9]

Just like P T Barnum's circus. To the lioness to the tigress to the egress and there is no way back in that.

[@holeesheet2021]

You could create a great psychology experiment with this kind of set up. Like those mice maze experiments. Alter the outcomes and see how long it takes them to change their behavior accordingly. The possibilities are endless!

[@THEconndor]

This is awesome. I'm wondering how you might be able to tell them apart. I bet the squirrels are happy to have something to look forward to each summer, especially since you modify it each time. Lucky squirrels indeed! Adorable animals.

[@metacomet2066]

Make 'em work for that meal!

[@OsservatoreSiciliano]

Lot of work, lot of fun! Great! :)

[@jchany137]

Home Entertainment. 😂 Amazing

[@ritchievernon8099]

boy the things a squirrel has to go through just to get his nuts! Squirrels probably thinking? Are they trying to kill me? 😬😬😬

[@rogerhurd6434]

Thanks for the wonderful ideas. I now know I can just trap squirrels in this sort of contraption with some mods. Guess what is for dinner.

[@userbosco]

Time to buy a Habitrail and some hamsters maybe xD

[@chuckers07]

Or recycle junk and have the animals show up for free.

[@moneyandtimefreedom3352]

Squirrels taste good, fatten them up then eat them. Mmmmm

[@user-me9tk4ow4z]

kikikiki A device that develops the intelligence of squirrels

[@gabem6362]

Great project ...!!!

[@Kiwi403]

This excellent vid deserves some excellent music.

[@wtopp345985]

Very Cool!

[@nadiapaz2908]

Is like ninja warrior for squirrels!!

[@barfsoup]

Squirrels know what they want!!

[@Cynical_Idealist_]

This is how they train for Squirrel Team Six!!

[@herpderpmonkey]

Linda Craine is like that Jigsaw guy from the Saw movies but for squirrels.

[@tweekmasterusa]

I want one of those in my yard

[@YTAUD]

This is super cool.... we have named most of our "regulars" and make little treasure trails of peanuts thru the lawn every morning, but this would be awesome! Thank you for the great idea!

[@Vertexnine]

Make sure to upload a video if you ever create one! I think i've found a new fascination lol

[@petervanpeborgh2142]

I like the music too. You could set up three fixed cameras and film each section with tripods, then splice it together and overlay the music.

[@t8r507]

On every squrril vid I click on, in the comments there's always....somebody got too much time on their hands, some people do retire, when they do sometimes they got lots of time on their hands, not saying everybody who puts up a vid is retired, but it happens ya know, great vid by the way, I like to watch them for a laugh

[@DontUBaDiva]

Fun! I hope this helps them stay away from your bird feed! I miss my habitrail! As I remember they were awful to clean. Your so clever you probably have a system all figured out! Peace!

[@mcozpda3392]

ahahahahahahahaa niceeee ....but in the Corn put some counter balance .. and more thin .. and the some funny tramps in the tubes .. cheers ..

[@canada5691]

I’d be giving those tree rats the Remington retirement package.

[@oscarmike47]

awesome squirrel maze :D

[@badiavlogk.h3875]

Very nice

[@bizzy511]

Pretty awesome man.

[@RoseBud-fk4qg]

Very nice 😄

[@placeboeffekt6724]

Thanks from Germany..........

[@joyceb8407]

I love this very clever..you need 3 squirrel cams going.

[@doyouspeakrussian]

Ну, авторы ~ вЫдумщики! 🤣👍

[@vernonsanders371]

So cool👍 a squirrel will always get his nut

[@ravenstrahd5234]

Hold my beer

[@KuvaPefo]

Raven Strahd naw naw you don't hunt the ones people are friends with! Hehe.. They do look nice though..

[@JosePerez-pc1rs]

Lol, if you have a squirl problem why not put them to work.. i like it

[@StreakingTiger]

I totally enjoyed watching that video. Good job.

[@KuvaPefo]

To all the squirrel hunters and haters. Spare the red squirres! They are endangered! HUNT THE GREY SQUIRRELS! And never kill squirrels that people have befriended, unless you really have to.

[@sylvanas7470]

I love it!.

[@ToniHunterOne]

You know what? This needs natural sounds. What I did was played the sound from the Norway Free Seeds and Fruits Winter Sled in the back ground of this. Also, for those of us who experience motion sickness, the movement of your camera is a bit nauseating. I'd like to see you attempt this again but get some help with your cameras. You've done a phenomenal job though. It looks like fun for the squirrels.

[@ritchievernon8099]

They might as well have built an underground city and allow the squirrel to get a social security card so he can go work in a nut factory! 😁😬

[@BigBearHuskyMusher]

You have a wonderful and kind spirit making this. Makes me sick to see people that want to shoot these beautiful creatures. There are two types off people. Ones that like to kill and ones that love and nurture God's creatures. Bless your heart for being the latter

[@josie4065]

Glad to see another person who loves animals! However (and I do not mean this in a rude way), you do not know what you are talking about. Yes, there will always be the bad apples who enjoy killing animals, but the vast majority of hunters love animals. It’s hard not to have a great deal of respect for your quarry when they are so majestic and continually blow your stalks. We hunt for meat-the healthiest meat there is. We bunt because we want to see wildlife in the future, and regulated hunting is one of the most effective tools for both population management and conservation funding, as well as being a tool to surgically remove problem animals that predate on livestock and pets, or become habituated around humans. In the words of hunter and conservationist Jana Waller, “It’s not about killing; it’s about living”. For many, hunting is not just something they do for fun or as a hobby. For some, yes, but for many it is a lifestyle. There are many reasons why people hunt. There are many reasons why I hunt. I have already explained some of them. Other reasons are the opportunity to explore the wilderness, to see wildlife and learn how they live, to spend time with friends or alone, to gain a clearer vision of the world and my relationship with my maker. All of these could be done without killing an animal, but the experience becomes more meaningful when you are stalking to within yards of a bull elk in the rut while he is screaming at you from point blank range, remaining cool enough to execute an ethical shot with a bow (or a rifle, spear, or any other ethical weapon), tracking the now-dead animal, and yes, feeling remorse for the life I just took. Taking that life is an unfortunate yet necessary part of the process that deepens my connection to the animal on a level that someone who buys their meat from the grocery store will never achieve. There is a certain sense of gratitude and appreciation for God’s provision that is unique. There are other reasons, unformed in my conscious mind, why I hunt. Even I do not fully understand their meaning, but I know they are quite meaningful. It’s something you will never really understand until you hunt yourself. Sorry for the essay, but I hope this helps inform. Again, I don’t mean to come across as rude, and I am glad we share an appreciation for the wild and the life it holds! God bless you and your family, and have a great rest of your week!

[@pathologicaldoubt]

Should’ve built a tripod as well...

[@dennischang2803]

Some dude just made a disneyland for squirrels

[@sherifleck5906]

That is so cool.

[@beth-rg8bm]

Definitely needs "Mission Impossible" music!

[@debbieweightman455]

good job, lol!

[@colinmacvicar2507]

Hearing the Mission Impossible theme song in my head as I watch this.

[@nathanlangly4497]

Squirrel!!!

[@san379]

lol so cute to watch..lol

[@mindianaj0nes]

Thank you, fun video :-)

[@capuchinfriarsusa]

This is what happens when squirrels drive a guy crazy.

[@holytrashify]

I cant help but wonder about these kinds of people

[@evanr1940]

I wonder where we can get more of em :)

[@briantruckinglanders6375]

Holy Trash :It's cheap entertainment and it looks amazing. haha

[@chaddts]

Breeding super squirrels

[@GGg-ug3jr]

Have a nice Dave way to go guys fall right into the divide and conquer

[@BigBearHuskyMusher]

Holy Trash I can't understand why more people are not like this. What would you do "Holly Trash"? Shoot them? What kind of reprobate name is that anyway?

[@judithwalker3600]

Nuts! Wonder what the squirrels think?!

[@dawolf7784]

Should have added Some electricity to the Dead ends and random spots in the maze ! that would be more fun

[@offlimits4635]

swine

[@sandracoan4529]

That was neat too watch and how they built that was cool and amazing 😇😇😇

[@jameslivingston8301]

WOW! Wonderful video! I liked it, subscribed and hit the bell too. I hope you get a lot of cash from KZbin! How often do you have to clean the maze? What state you live in it? It looks like Michigan.

[@RebChaim613]

Does it ever happen that 2 squirrels enter at the same time and must pass opposite direction within a maze or tube?

[@juliejongkryg6296]

Very clever

[@orbs1062]

If we had used these tree rats, in my experimental psychology classes, instead of those white lab rats, I could've finished in half the time. These little boogers are smart. Retired now. That swinging 2x4 with the corn cob looks like a fun project.... HAAAAAHAHAHA!
