That's so maddening. We have a small army of them.

I've seen squirrels eat all kinds of things my favorite is when i watched 1 eat a Dragon fly head first

I'm glad we have plenty of oak trees around. My squirrels never bother my garden at all, and I have plenty of them around. Of course, I try to leave some water out for them. I think they eat plants when they are thirsty.

Water, yes. And, they focus on the area where I throw birdseed and have stopped digging in my pots.
