Questions and answers

Questions and Answers About Squirrels and Climbing Vines

Why do squirrels like climbing along garden fences?
Fences act as safe elevated pathways for squirrels, allowing them to travel across yards without stepping onto the ground where predators might spot them.
How do nasturtiums climb along fences and garden structures?
Nasturtiums use long leaf stems called petioles that twist around fence slats, wire netting, or nearby branches, anchoring the plant as it grows upward toward sunlight.
Do squirrels eat flowers like nasturtiums?
While squirrels mainly search for seeds, nuts, and acorns, they occasionally sample flower buds and young green leaves when foraging through backyard gardens in summer.
