Thread: Squirrel tails!!

My partner does a bit of grey squirrel control in our area and took home (perhaps a bit foolishly) a couple of fresh squirrel tails for Sylvester to play with. Sounds a bit yucky, I know but Sylvester has gone crazy for them, tossing them in the air and kicking them with his back legs. We have since confiscated them because we started to think that perhaps these tails could have mites or fleas!!! We've put them in the garage thinking that once they dry out they might be ok..... not sure whether we should give them back to sylvie or not- what do folks reckon? He just doesn't seem to be interested in 'dangly sheep' or anything that isn't realistic or real!! He's constantly sneaking into the garage to grab them!!!!
