Squirrels actually have two breeding seasons per year, so there isn’t one single “biggest” season. The timing can vary slightly depending on the specific species and location, but here’s a general breakdown:
- First Breeding Season: This typically occurs in late December to February. During this colder period, mating is less frequent, resulting in fewer litters.
- Second Breeding Season: This is the more productive breeding season and takes place in late June to August.With warmer temperatures and more abundant food sources, squirrels are more likely to reproduce during this time,leading to larger litters and a higher population boom.
So, depending on your location and the squirrel species you’re dealing with, you might experience heightened squirrel activity either in the late winter/early spring or in the late summer.
