Jeffery has developed an interesting hypothesis. The fun part of science is developing an unbiased experiment to test that hypothesis. Observation and curiosity make a scientist, not the science.
Squirrel poop closely resemble rat feces. Both pests’ poop is dark brown and smooth, but squirrels leave larger, barrel-shaped pellets behind while rats produce small, oblong-shaped droppings with tapered ends.
Years ago I bought a house that had been empty for a few years (the occupant had aged into her 90’s, went into nursing home, and eventually died). It was infested with squirrels when I bought it.
I can assure you all, squirrels most definitely poop. They poop a lot.
Living in Central PA, I don’t have time to think about squirrel poop because I’m worried about getting horses&$t on my tires wherever I go.
At least one Amish buggy driver has a sense of humor about the matter. On the back of his buggy is a sign that reads, “Runs on 100% biofuel. CAUTION: do NOT step in the exhaust.”
If Jeffrey heeded his own remark he would know about the pooping of squirrels. Seems he is either a bad scientist or a lousy observer. Which makes him a lousy scientist, too.

That’s the same logic I use to claim that air doesn’t exist. Ergo, there’s no reason for space suits.

Squirrels are fastidious creatures. They probably collect and neatly package their waste to ship it PoopPS.

So I guess squirrel envy is what you have when you have diarrhea.

I don’t sit around waiting for a Squirrel to do its business but they do a great job of pilfering the bird food my wife puts out in the bird feeders

I suppose that the squirrel privacy veil we call a tail makes the obfuscation of their bowel movements sort of naturally mysterious.

Birds do it, bees do it

Let’s do it, let’s go and poop…
