Absolutely. Fat Squirrel (FS for short) and her family live in the trees above my driveway.
Long time ago, she chewed a baseball-sized-hole in the top of my barrel and now treats it as their personal buffet throughout the week, leading up to trash day.
Our deal is that FS can partake of our yummy food trash as much as they’d like, so long as they don’t make a mess (outside of the barrel).
When they have, I yell at them and duct tape the hole shut — which they can easily chew through again, but she’s gotten the hint…
and, quite a bit fatter.
all about that trash, that trash
