Conan,
You did the right thing!
On behalf of squirrels everywhere I thank you!
I used to hand feed the squirrels that lived under my shed in AZ...my backyard was their spring nursery where the babies would come out and get their first look at life above ground...my neighbors always tried to drown them out by sticking water hoses down the holes, too stupid to realize that the squirrels had underground tunnels that went for miles all around us. They hated me for feeding them, telling me that they were flea and disease ridden rodents...all the while their dogs were covered with fleas, ticks, and surrounded by clouds of flies.
Stupid people suck.
I have two young squirrels that hang out here in my back yard in Texas. I make them a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day.

I bet by this time next year, they will take them from my hand.

Moni
