How does a squirrel open the acorns it collects?
They're not easy to open, and squirrels aren't exactly known for their strength. Do they eat other nuts?

I had considered clipping the wings of my laying quail hens, i.e. shortening the skin feathers to just before the keel. Does anyone know how high they can fly? Normally, it's about 2 meters. Does anyone have experience with this?
Hello, we recently got a squirrel in our garden that we feed every now and then. It says online that squirrels eat eggs, so I was thinking about feeding the squirrel a raw chicken egg so it has something to eat during the winter. Is that okay, or is it bad for the squirrel?
I have a 6-year-old drake. I've brought in a new pair, a male and a female, and now the two drakes aren't getting along. Is there a trick I can use to stop the new drake from attacking the old one? I've already housed the new pair separately, but while they're running around in the…
If you're in the woods and are attacked by a wild boar, does it help to set off a firecracker?

Nice video. Interesting as well as horrific the animal is.
From my first squirrel I already knew the behavior. That’s why I kept the nuts for the first time, because I wanted to show this excited tail swing. When eating, the squirrels are like in trance. They can be relatively close. But as soon as they finish their meal, they awaken from their “eating star” and escape. That’s exactly what my first squirrel was doing. Even when it licked the last crumbs from my hand, it suddenly awakened and escaped. As long as it was eaten, I could touch it. It was like a little n…t 😉
with the teeth
even walnuts
Scorns are harder to open, at least with the hands.
Squirrels have a built-in nutcracker. Look at the bite:
Squirrels can bite you a finger with ease
Squirrels are not the strongest, but they have sharp teeth and a strong jaw. They can crack walnuts themselves with a few bites.
How are you doing a apple to get to the flesh?
With the fruit knife. If you look at squirrels rather rare…
because they are very shy, agent
They always hold things in my hands and rotate the body, so they’re cutting their teeth.
