squirrel news update. Stubby squirrel is getting rounder. comes first thing to check for peanuts before the other squirrels grab them all, then finds other goodies in the lawn.
he's definitely not starving.
Pregnant female maybe ?

looking at Stubby again, i don't think it's pregnancy.
i forgot that pregnant females usually show signs of having been had, a "landing strip" of missing back fur that takes awhile to grow back.
plus, as pregnancy progresses , they start removing their "jackets" to use the fur to line their nests.
the past couple years i haven't seen very many pregnant squirrels, as i did initially. i think the neighbourhood has reached capacity.
