    Yea yea a squirt..BUT probably my fav of the tree sqs. So some squirrel fun facts.

    Fox sqs have the most wonderful feet, toes are long and elegant with luscious jet black toenails. They use their front feet quite gracefully.

    Like E. Greys average litter size is 2.5 (have always wondered how they get 1/2 sq?). Can range from 1-6, with 6 being rare. Only 23% +- have 2 litters a year.

    Fox sqs are more terrestrial then greys, trundling around up to 5 miles from the nearest tree. Home range for males is 80 acers, greys 5 acers.

    Personality; in rehab fox are like groundhogs, no matter the age. They are either a joy to deal with, as long as you have food your fine, or they absolutly detest you. In the latter case things can get fun as you try and keep all your body parts intact:D

    Oh Nonda, this is wonderful! Nicely composed, good detail and sweet pose, eye contact, soft bg and the delicate, infocus flowers are a great finishing touch. And, thanks for the squirt fun-facts!

    Excellent Nonda,
    This is very nice. The position of the little guy in frame is dead on. I like the details and color rendition. The multi- colored background and habitat puts this one over the top...a big congrats to you...well done...:):cool:

    Thanks Gus and Katie!

    I don't get many opportunities with these guys they are pretty reclusive in my neck of the woods.
