Barely able to fit into his feeder and gently resting his foot on the side of the chair to keep his balance, this greedy squirrel tucks into his daily meal.
The large rodent has been piling on the pounds in preparation for a harsh winter and every day he is given a new cob to keep him going.
Amateur photographer Paulette King has dubbed the gray squirrel 'Chubby' because of its massive size.
Every day he visits the woodland garden where he can be seen munching his way through the food and at times, even resorts to burying some before coming back for more.

Some such can carry some REALLY nasty microbes etc. . . . particularly in some states.
Thoroughly washing with a serious disinfectant after any contact might be quite wise.
NM has to be concerned about plague with rodents.
And IIRC, there’s also some concern about prion type diseases in eating Squirrels in some states.
