They’re multiplyin’

And I’m looooooosing contro-o-ol

Iggy is from the Pipsqueakery, a wildlife rescue in Bloomington, Indiana. Please consider giving them a small donation so they can continue to take care of lil guys like Iggy. https://www.thepipsqueakery.org/

Spooky blanket

In most prey animals IIRC, yep. Can't get much escape in sleep if one's made of lunch for pretty much anything out there —even the disneyfied critters'll chomp ya if you're too still. 😅

Sleeping with open eyes. Is this a thing with squirrels?

I’m glad he found his way home!

Looks like he was coming home from a hard night of drinking :D

Congratulations, neighbours

Soo adorable!

Aww! They've got the perfect li'l face!!

So cute! Always looks like you're squeezing the life out of them since they're so tiny :)

They are! They don’t have red eyes and can be just lighter colored, not necessarily white.

East Coast? Looks like an Eastern Grey Squirrel.

Are leucistic squirrels distinct from albino squirrels?

"So? Those were breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses, luncheon, and afternoon tea. I'm asking about dinner!"

Dinner?!? You’ve been eating all day!!

Who are we kidding. They'd pick up a nut, have a 5% chance of eating it, otherwise they go bury it in the nearest chocolate bar. They forget where they buried it immediately. Boom, free nut chocolate.

Nut chocolate, lol

Yep, all you need is peanuts and a food processor. I can't remember the last time I bought peanut butter

Skippy, and Jiffy, IIRC

Hippie stores, nothing. Most Kroger brand, Kroger owned stores have them. Many Albertson's, and Winn Dixie's also have them (Kroger owned, but not branded stores)

That doesn't even include Meijer's or Costco which also have those machines pretty regularly.

Obviously, Whole Foods is gonna have them.

The sad part is that you'd do far better financially speaking in most cases (peanuts being kinda iffy here in the US specifically because peanuts are so damn cheap that it is frequently cheaper to just buy really expensive organic no-additive peanut butter,) by buying unroasted nuts, tossing them into a dry wok or a dry baking sheet, and roasting them. At that point you just need to throw the nuts into a food processor, and you get cheap, organic, nut-butter with absolutely no artificial preservatives or artificial additives. A tiny dash (1/4 tsp per cup of nut butter at most,) of normal table salt, and a tiny pinch (1/16 tsp per cup of nut butter,) of MSG will make your homemade nut-butter, "tastier," than any store bought nut-butter.

If you're grinding a low sugar nut such as almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, or macadamias, then you may want to add a tiny pinch (1/16 to 1/8 tsp depending on taste,) of your preferred sugar to the butter, but I would taste first before adding sugar. The salt is kinda necessary for proper tastebud activation for most foods, not just savory foods.

A standard food processor does a pretty good job too!

Some of us like our High Fructose Corn Syrup, dessert level sweet peanut butter, that also doesn't separate, thank you very much! Is it bad for me? Almost assuredly! Do I care when I'm eating it with a spoon? Almost not at all! You will pry my Skippy from cold, dead, somewhat greasy hands!

It is in European foods too

They would just eat them and hide the rest away
