Do Squirrels Give Birth In The Fall. Occasionally, a kit will fall from the nest or accidentally be left behind as the mother moves her litter from their nest to a new location. The babies are kept safe by their mother until they are weaned at around 10 weeks.

Squirrels give birth only 2 times a year. They will also enter homes to find a safe place to nest in. Mums with higher cortisol levels gave birth to pups that grew faster. Squirrels avoid the extreme cold and spend most of the winter sleeping in dens.
