I had plenty of good weekend entertainment observing the doings of the most wretched sciurus carolinensis. The new cage around the peanut butter feeder has so far deterred the tree rats. The joker (I suspect only one rat is involved) has been assaulting the feeder and so far does not appear to have gotten more than the merest lick of the tasty product. Unless this squirrel develops a Gene Simmons-like tongue it will have to be a lot cleverer. The squirrel was so frustrated that it threw what looked all the world like a temper tantrum: throwing itself all over the feeder tree and flicking its tail. This is always good entertainment for me. But these rats have plenty of time on their hands, so I must be careful to enjoy the fun while it lasts. Just how will they get in?
