Indianapolis Wildlife Removal Tip of the Month: Things You Should Know on Squirrel Feeding

While you might think that you are helping the Indianapolis squirrels survive by giving them free food, a lot of people might not agree with you. According to the wildlife experts, human foods are not intended for the diet of the wildlife creatures. Animals are also clever, and they can survive without the assistance of humans. The natural diet of squirrel is special. If you give them food regularly, they will not receive the right nutrition that they need and will become malnourished. They will then be vulnerable to different illnesses and may eventually die.



Is Feeding Squirrel Bad or Good?
Just like in any issues, there are two sides to this matter. One of them are in favor of feeding the squirrels and the other claimed about the ill effects of squirrel feeding.

Not to Feed
Some people believe that giving the squirrels with free food will make them become dependent to you, which is not the proper way to survive in the wild. Once they rely too much on the free food, they will find it difficult to be self-sufficient. Let’s say that you are a generous human who is willing to feed them every day to keep their food supply sufficient. You perhaps think that there will never be a problem. Unfortunately, this will attract the attention of the other squirrels. The large population of the Indiana squirrels can also increase the transmission of the zoonotic diseases such as Lyme Disease.

Befriending the squirrels can also lead to a host of issues. They will gradually lose their fear towards humans and will act more aggressive. While they may appear cute and cuddly, you should still remember that Indianapolis squirrels are armed with sharp teeth and claws that can easily piece your soft skin. On the off chance that safety risks are not enough to convince you to avoid feeding them, you should take note that squirrel infestation can lead to property damages. Once they are no longer happy with the amount of food you give, they can invade your garden and destroy your vegetables. They will even invade your house once the temperature drops where they can cause expensive damages.

To Feed
Not all people with agree to the notion that feeding squirrels have detrimental effects. Some people also enjoy being in the presence of the squirrels. Some people will encourage the feeding of squirrels if you want to attract them to your property. It also provides them an additional food source during the cold winter season.

Some people will have a neutral approach towards this matter. Stealing the sunflower seeds on the bird feeder is fine for them. However, once they start causing damages, they will be proactive in excluding the animals in their property.

In case you still can’t decide if you should feed them or not, understand that feeding the squirrels on the public park is considered illegal. Squirrels are wild species and they have an unpredictable behavior. While giving them with free foods may appear to be an act of good will, understand that you may be doing them more harm than good if you do this.
