When I was living in Wisconsin, I had one of those feisty red squirrels move into my garage and build himself a nice condo in the rafters with rags and such. Well winter was near so I figured as long he went through all that work, I'd be kind hearted so I let him stay.
It came time to winterize my motorcycle so I was going to run it before putting it to bed. It started hard, and when it did start, my Harley looked like a double barreled hickory nut cannon going off. That soon to be dead critter had filled my mufflers with nuts for the winter!!
I'm trying to get my wife to get me a suppressor for my 10/22 for Christmas. The squirrels in town are horrible, mean and down right obnoxious!

Possibly, but I think you failed somewhere.......food, water, shelter. Squirrels have a high metabolism, most times they extract water from mast. Peanut butter is like driving by fast food joints.....it smells good, will fill your belly, by it ain't all that good for you. The processing in peanut butter is also detrimental to a wild animal. Like they say, don't give your dog "people food".
To keep a squirrel alive.....cover the cage, feed it raw peanuts with the shell, give it fresh water daily.
God show's mercy on drunks and dumb animals.........two outa three ain't a bad score!

Heck, if I'd known you were in the market, I'd have sent you 28 last summer and 17 this summer.
If you want to catch a bunch of em......peanut butter. It's like little tree-rat cocaine.

Oh no! What happened to it?
Well, my young friend I did not get the call sign " Nutty Ned " for being funny.

Granted the 10/22 will be a manually operated single shot.

They make less than half the noise of a regular .22 Short- - - - -sort of like a loud handclap from a long-barreled bolt action rifle.
