When Mom's away the Squirrel Pups will play! | My Backyard Friends

If you're not following along we had our first squirrel pups in the Squirrel House. They weren't born in there, but were brought into this house for a few days till they were ready to be outside the nest more often. In this video mom heads out to reload on food while the pups play and explore inside the squirrel house. Please check out our other videos on the channel and leave a comment! Thanks for watching!

Momma squirrel looked super happy to come back to her babies. The babies finally fell asleep and she woke them and checked every inch of them to make sure they were fine almost like she worries nonstop when she is gone. What a good momma squirrel. I do know they have many predators to worry about.

At least their mom squirrel doesn't force them to go to school for 12 years 🤪

[@mybackyardfriends7326]

😂😂😂 so true! She knew that they’d just squirrel around all day there

[@JohnSmith-lf8kg]

They sure need some stuffing of material to fill and have a cushion bedding.

[@mybackyardfriends7326]

They brought in more than enough overtime. We’ve even cleaned it out once between breeding seasons because they just fill it like crazy with leaves.

How does this not have a million views?! 🥹🥹

[@mybackyardfriends7326]

We wonder the same! 😄 but In all seriousness it’s fun to put together so we don’t care who or how many watch. Gave us something to do and purpose. Thanks for watching!!

Did you say in one of your videos that you have a website that has instructions on it on how to build a squirrel house? I'd love to know how, without reinventing the wheel, so-to-speak. Thanks.

I have a camera in my Owl Box and a squirrel, who I now call 'Emma', moved in. And then a Raccoon ousted Emma, so I purchased a squirrel house that the Raccoon couldn't get to. I had a wireless camera in there that I thought did a good job, but the adaptor would go out every time it rained. Is your camera wireless as well? Do you have a problem with the adaptor going out?

[@mybackyardfriends7326]

What kind of camera are you using? We are using a green feathers bird box camera in our box on the inside. You can see the setup and build here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6a7pI2hoJ50aKM

@@mybackyardfriends7326 So sorry, I'm just now seeing your comment now. The camera I have (or had) in my box was exactly like your camera (but brown), but it was made by Green Backyard and shipped from Hong Kong. The customer service was very good, but then they changed the camera features and I don't like the new camera as well (it's bigger and the WiFi antenna is bulky.) My squirrel box was hit by lightening in July and plummeted about 20 feet from the tree and was destroyed. I have a new box now that I haven't mounted yet and a new camera. I went with the Amcrest Dome Wifi. It also isn't installed, so it's too soon to give it a review. So happy though that you shared the link of the camera you're using. It's a very good camera.

[@annie8591]

One more question, and this might be in another video, but how do you weatherproof the adaptor (the plug part) so it doesn't short-out when it rains?

[@Icanfixstuff]

How's this not prepping tom

[@mybackyardfriends7326]

Lol at your comment mr. short snake
