Squirrel Thief

Squirrel Thief

We wondered where the oranges were going, but this week we caught the thief in the act. He scrambled up the young orange tree, a pineapple orange we planted in April, grabbed a still-green fruit and ran. He quickly climbed onto a branch of the oak tree and sprawled out to enjoy the feast. I know they have to eat also, but I wasn’t planning on sharing the oranges with the squirrels. The large backyard squirrel population could pose a problem in managing the fruit trees.

  1. I have never heard of squirrels eating green oranges. Oh dear, that could be a real problem. I hope he leaves you some for this winter.
