Presenting Boris the white Squirrel

Posted on August 4, 2012 by admin

Steve wrote to us from the UK to send in a picture of ‘Boris’ a white squirrel who lives in a local park.

Hi. My name is Steve. I found your site whilst reading up on squirrels. I love squirrels.I’m on vacation from Uni at the moment so have time on my hands. There’s a park 5 minutes away from me ( I live in South London UK .) full of squirrels which I like to feed every day with peanuts. I have some of them taking the nuts from my hand! I just thought I’d show you a picture of the Albino that resides in the park. The locals have even given him a name: “Boris.”

Apparently white albinos are 1 in 100,000 so he is quite special.

All the best & thanks for a great site dedicated to these lovely,crazy creatures.

Luck it’s the happiest place on earth, or that squirrel might have been run over!

Yay! It’s squirrel appreciation day

Yes, January 21st is squirrel appreciation day!

Christy Hargrove of Asheville, North Carolina created the holiday in 2001.

Tree squirrels do not hibernate during the winter and might have trouble finding food this time of year.

Christy originally suggested feeding your local squirrels as a way to celebrate this holiday.

Here at nutsaboutsquirrels, we can happily report that all of the regulars are still showing up every day or two for a visit.

In fact Piggy greeted us on the window sill of our bedroom window just like he used to when he was a baby. (Probably because we slept in and were slow to fetch him his breakfast.)

Let’s hope they all continue to stay safe so we can enjoy the coming spring and summer together again.
