It takes me like 2 minutes. I cut under the tailbone, step on the tail, grab the feet and pull the skin right off. Remove head and paws, crack ribs, remove organs, cut into 4 peices and that's it. He is grilled 20 minutes after he fell out of the tree.

Had my engine cover gnawed away by some kind of rodent, pretty sure it's squirrels. They've damaged my gas tank and the soffit around the house.
But this one just seemed to be on purpose. Can anyone think of a reason why a squirrel would want the foam cover? It tastes good?

Interesting. Does that stuff have an odor?

That’s crazy! Maybe they bit off pieces and go take it for nesting somewhere? Follow the trail! Seriously that can’t be edible, its likely oil based and would block up their little GI system!

I had the same thing happened to my 2020 Ranger Lariat engine cover. Although not as bad, but what was funny was all of the acorns that they had stored in the front of the engine well near the radiator. I pulled out about 40 acorns out of the engine compartment. They chewed on the insulation a bit too, but looks like I got to it before they did any serious damage.

The big question...
Is it a mouse or a squirrel? :LOL:
