Today, I observed several squirrels in my yard. When I went out into the yard, the squirrels took off and ran down into the entrance of my tortoise burrow. These were large squirrels, not the smaller gopher squirrels which we are used to seeing in our area (mojave desert). Does anybody know if this could be a problem for my DTs. It seems my entire block has suddenly been invaded by squirrels. They may have quite an underground tunnel network, and I am sure my yard is no longer a secure place and my DTs may be able to travel through these same tunnels by widening them, but what I don't know is if squirrels could hurt the DTs or get them sick.
If somebody has had experience or has other knowledge regarding my concerns I would be most grateful for their reply. THANK YOU
