Simon's Blog - What Do Squirrels Eat?

Except for nuts obviously!

Yesterday we accidentally asked the question about their eating habits and today in my meridianweather@itv.com inbox were answers galore.

So first up...

...cherry tomatoes. Carey Littleford in Southbourne in Dorset was a little surprised to find a squirrel munching on his.

Patrick Sheeran in Worthing managed to find one that likes...

...ice cream. Who cares about brain freeze and who needs a spoon!

Debbie Innes in Hove has one that likes a cup of tea...

...with a saucer of course.

Mind I wouldn't usually stand in it.

And here’s the perfect accompaniment from Bridget and Jamie Lewis in Shoreham...

...a cookie to dunk.

They’ve called that squirrel Sean by the way.

And finally from Trevor Cridlan in Thame proof that they’re like many of us they eat too much rubbish!
