Squirrel Life cycle
Squirrels breed in February and March in winter, and in June and July in summer. Females may become pregnant up to twice a year. Only the mother looks after the young, which are born completely helpless. Young squirrels are deaf and blind during the first few weeks of their life. In the wild, squirrels get about 3 years old. They usually become mature after two. In captivity, squirrels were observed to live for up to 10 years.
