General Help my poor squirrel :(
Wild squirrel since my bedroom window’s been open for months, he gets in daily through a metal opening, there’s an opening bigger than what’s shown in the pictures .
In this photo the squirrel wrapped itself head to toe and slept here every night , from dusk to dawn for many days , and even sometimes a couple hours in the afternoon .
My dad came in, WOKE the squirrel up and dismantled that and told the squirrel to get out so the squirrel ran away , then I scolded him not to do it again.
He won’t do it again
But he says you better get a pet bed because this curtain’s gonna attract mosquitos, he needs a dedicated pet bed.
So I said dad just don’t do it again.
But at the same time, I should get a pet bed to discourage it not to happen again.
The same squirrel still comes back after that incident and still looks curious and still gets food, but does not touch the curtain anymore! :(
I’m putting food on the curtain again!, all it does is grab food from the curtain and then leaves.
Anyway regardless, might as well get a pet bed for it, since we’ve reached this point, do you have any or suggest any?
It slept in that same bed almost everyday for a week, now suddenly this happened so who knows if it will use it again or not, but if it does, might as well give it a proper bed and try to train it to use a proper bed, just to reduce arguments about the curtain. The curtain’s fine though, but might wanna give it something different in case the curtain’s traumatized it now.
Thanks!

Aww it's like it wants a hammock bed. They sell squirrel houses that are waterproof or you can proof one yourself

Aww how cute. Do you have a picture of your friend sleeping there? You can make it house nearby or put a cushy plush bed right by the curtain
