My wife has been working on feeding this squirrel and the squirrel is getting braver each time. I think she might need to cut back the squirrel getting little on heavy side!:)

Should they be eating bread? He is far too overweight.

I've read before that white bread is just as bad for animals as it is for humans - a lack of any nutritional value, more difficult to digest, and a cause of being overweight. Maybe he needs to be switched to a natural, nut-based diet! ;)

Either way, nice photo!

Haha Jay, you might want to be careful PETA doesn't show up claiming "squirrel abuse" - :)
He definitely looks like a happy little, uh....big guy! Nice capture.

He's going to make an easily caught meal for some lucky predator.

It is suggested that we should not feed bread especially white bread to animals. It is to processed for the digestive systems.
Raw nuts, corn and bird seed are less fattening.
Keep having fun.
