Hey - its no joke.
I got bit by a Squirrel at my moms place.
I saw it appear with blinking, cute, little eyes on her fence between two trees. I thought - ahhhhh, bless! So I offered it my finger.
He took it !!!
Right between its teeth and bit hard.
That hurt BAD .... I let out a mighty roar and the little shite leaped before I could bite back.
I still love Squirrels though and entice them into my own garden with nuts and acorns.
..... (little do they know that I also have a rifle with a scope )
