How Squirrel Behavior Affects Wisconsin Residents
Young gray squirrels become sexually mature after a year. At this point they start mating and reproducing, resulting in an average of two litters each year with each litter having up to seven young squirrels. These litters are born during late March to early April and late July to early August. It is during these periods that you’ll likely find mother squirrels holed up in your attic with their kits.
