Tree Squirrels at Animals in Wonderland
African Tree Squirrels are Diurnal, meaning they are awake during the day and will sleep at night.
Tree Squirrels are largely vegetarian but will readily take insects.
Tree squirrels are aboreal, meaning they are tree living creatures.
They will come down to forage for food and hoard food during winter.
There is a 8 week gestation period where normally 1-3 young are born.
The little ones will be weaned upon 6 weeks.
In the wild tree squirrels have a live expectancy of 2-3 years and
9 years in captivity.
Squiggles, our Tree Squirrel has been with us for 3 years and we love him BIG TIME.
His favorite foods are banana, strawberrys and peanuts.
