Spring is just a few weeks away and squirrels have already built their nests and are having their young. It is also a time when many of us trim trees and branches.

If at all possible, please postpone trimming trees and branches with nests in them. Wait until the babies, called "pinkies," are old enough to leave the nest on their own. An average nest has from two to four squirrel babies but may have as many as six.

When first born, the babies are hairless and their eyes are closed. They are helpless and need their mothers for warmth and nourishment. The babies won't open their eyes for four to five weeks, and they are not able to regulate their body heat until about six to seven weeks of age.

Many orphaned baby squirrels brought in for rehabilitation come in due to human interference.

A mother squirrel who is frightened off her nest by tree trimmers, leaves her young vulnerable to the elements and predatory animals.

If you must trim trees, please check all limbs for squirrel nests first. If you accidentally knock a nest out of a tree, retrieve the babies and their nest and place them on a nearby tree limb safe from predators and out of direct sunlight.

If the nest is broken, make a replacement nest of the same shape. You can use a common household container such as a margarine tub or strawberry basket. A word of caution: do not use cleaning product containers; they are highly toxic to young animals.

Poke holes in the bottom for drainage and line the container with natural materials like those of the original nest. Place this as close as possible to the original nest's location.

Many people believe that if you touch and handle a baby squirrel and the nest, the mother will not take them back. Not true -- the mother squirrel will always take her young back.

If you find that a mother squirrel has moved into your attic and has given birth, please refrain from evicting her and her young until after her young are old enough to leave on their own.

There are some simple steps you can take to safeguard your house before squirrels take up residence in your attic:

Never attempt to handle an adult squirrel. They are excitable and handling causes intense stress. A stressed squirrel may bite or scratch.

Be sure to seal openings that lead to the attic or underneath the house.

Trim branches to at least 10 feet from the house. Squirrels use branches as their freeway system and can jump from branches to your roof.

Make sure the chimney opening is covered with wire mesh to prevent squirrels from entering. If a squirrel falls into the chimney, secure a heavy rope from the top of the chimney and drop it into the fireplace. This provides a perfect escape route.

Place several ammonia-soaked rags in cans that are punctured with holes in areas such as attics or underneath houses and decks. Do not use this method if baby animals are present.

If you do not want squirrels in the yard, you can make your yard less attractive by:

Removing as many food sources as possible. This means feeding birds in squirrel proof feeders or not at all.

Raking up fallen acorns and other nuts.

Protect flower bulbs and prevent digging in gardens by placing 1-inch mesh chicken wire over the bed before bulbs sprout in spring.

Remember that live-trapping and relocating is not a final solution and is illegal.

If you find an orphaned or injured baby squirrel, it is vitally important to keep it warm to ensure its survival. Immediately bring the animal to Native Animal Rescue where experienced rehabilitators can take over. Do not feed any baby squirrel and do not give any wild animals milk. All wildlife have dietary needs that are unique to their species. Too often well meaning people find an orphaned or injured baby squirrels and try caring for them alone. They soon realize the baby is not doing well. The majority do not survive.

These charming, bushy-tailed creatures are consistently judged most popular among our wild neighbors. It seems many of us want them around and many of us don't -- depending on what they are up to at any given moment. Either way, squirrels are one of the most successful mammals in human-altered environments and are great entertainers.
