I'm wondering if I am committing a bad thing by feeding squirrels in the neighborhood park. None of them live in any other situation than in the trees with nests.
I bought a 20 lb bag of critter feed, and I spread out roughly two 6-in bowls 3 in deep every day. I'll get anywhere from 10 to 15 squirrels feeding at one time.
I try not to do it everyday that way they can randomly search the area for other food, but should I be doing this at all?
Don't do that. They will start to get aggressive and jump on people.
No they're still running away, they freak out whenever anybody approaches them especially dogs....
It's not good to feed wild animals for a large number of reasons that involve their safety and the public's safety. Don't do that.
