text: LOL.. Interesting question... \n\nLet your 9 yr old know that I have indeed seen squirrels go to the bathroom, per se.  \n\nI have a group that have become so used to me that they actually come up to my slider, stand on their back feet and press their front feet to the glass , as if to say  " hey. lady ! Where are the peanuts !?!? ( I have to throw them out one at a time, through a tiny crack in the door, or the little twits would charge into my livingroom)\n\nANYWAY... Once they are done chasing each other, running away and planting said peanuts and drinking the fresh water, they *ahem* use my potted plants as their litter box.... *shakes head and rolls eyes*  \n\nSo yes Virginia, they do go to the bathroom... :)
