Actually, I once saw a show about squirrels defeating devices to prevent them from getting into bird feeders. They kept adding more and more things and the squirrels would team up to bypass them.
I know squirrels can clear a huge fruit tree in minutes. Only one of the trees was close to the house. I saw the fruit was ready, went for buckets and baskets. On return the fruit was gone. Found it in a storage building. Discovered somehow squirrels moved fruit into a tightly sealed storage building. Tree was wide and over 20’ high. I learned to be ready on the spot because the squirrels were watching me and the fruit. I suppose to them the old rule applies, first come first serve.
I have no problems with squirrels eating my pumpkins, slowly starving is too cruel and they need to be healthy to either escape or feed the red-tailed hawks.

And the reason people Waste those things as Jack-O-Lanterns, is because they are practically Inedible.
The large ones like that make Horrible Pies.

Don’t want to eat them when they’re fermented!
