Had a call yesterday about a squirrel eating the bark off from a beach tree. The first thing that came to mind was a Porcupine.
She said she had seen the squirrel eating the bark, two black and a gray. Some of the limbs were too small for a porcupine.
They had done a great deal of damage to the trees. Is this common? I have never seen this before. Can not shoot the squirrel because of the law and for safety reason. I am going to try and live trap them to start with. Any other suggestions?
