Posting rules
SquirrelSpot is a friendly place for squirrel fans of every age. A few simple rules keep it that way.
- Squirrels onlyTree squirrels, flying squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, prairie dogs and marmots all count. Your own photos only, please.
- No people or facesKeep the spotlight on the squirrel. Crop out people, especially kids. Hands are fine.
- Never bait with junk foodNo chips, bread, candy or cookies. If you feed squirrels at all, see what's safe.
- Give babies spaceKeep your distance from nests and baby squirrels. Most babies on the ground still have a mom nearby. Here's what to do if you find one.
- Rescue first, post laterIf a squirrel is hurt or sick, help comes first: find who to call near you. We keep the feed for living, healthy squirrels, so photos of hurt or dead animals won't be posted.
- Keep your spot generalShare the city, neighborhood or park. Never post your home address.
- Be kindFriendly captions only. No ads, links or rude words.
How review works
Every post is checked before it appears in the feed. If two people report a live post, it goes back for another look. Spot something that breaks the rules? Tap the flag on the post.
