Squirrels Mammals 
The gray squirrels, and sometimes the red squirrels, 
will breed in a cage, as described. Unless two squir- 
rels live happily together, it is best to keep them in 
separate cages, as they are likely to injure each other. 
FURRY 
His story as recorded in 
THE PET NOTE-BOOK 
*Furry was a baby red squirrel. One day in May 
his mother was moving him from one tree to another. 
He was clinging with his little arms around her neck 
and his body clasped tightly against her breast, when 
something frightened her and in a sudden movement, 
she dropped her heavy baby in the zrass. Thus, I 
inherited him and entered upon the rather onerous 
duties of caring for a baby of whose needs I knew 
little; but I knew that every well-cared for baby 
should have a book detailing all that happens to it, 
therefore, I made a book for Furry, writing in it each 
day the things he did. If the children who have pets 
keep similar books, they will find them most interest- 
ing reading afterward, and they will surely enjoy the 
writing very much.
