Fox-Squirrel's Diet The diot of the fox-squirrel ranges from crow's eggs to muskmellon, aU though it will live almost exclusively exclu-sively on various kinds of nuts if they can be had. Cutting down of nut-bearing trees has helped crows by limiting the squirrel population. When squirrels become too plentiful, plen-tiful, they will at times raid truck gardens and cause heavy damage. It is better, according to the Na. tional Wildlife federation, for hunters hunt-ers to harvest the surplus of any species of wildlife than for it to increase in-crease beyond the limits of its rat-ural rat-ural food supply.
