When a squirrel carries her baby, it’s usually to relocate them to a new nest or move them to safety. The mother gently grasps the baby by the scruff of the neck or back with her mouth, an instinctive behavior that keeps the baby secure and minimizes the risk of injury. She is highly protective and will make multiple trips if needed to transport all her babies. This careful and nurturing behavior highlights the strong maternal instincts of squirrels.
