The squirrels in the immediate area might if it produced food items they could eat but they would either move a distance away and scrap it out with the squirrels living there for food. Their memories would be too short and their brains too under-developed to exactly realize what happened and its effect on them.
The squirrels living in that fallen tree would lose their nests and if they had new born in the nest(s), they would grieve and worry about the kits (or whatever a baby squirrel is called) until they died a few days (or even hours) later and then gradually get on with their lives over, say, a week and the memory would be gone.
But long term in any case (a week or more), the squirrels would not care. They would not even remember the tree being upright.

Of course, they get very excited and emotional. They worry about anyone heard it fall and if not, did it really fall. Squirrels are like people. They care about the world they live in and scurry around trying to do to much at one time and they worry about protecting their nuts. They don't want to be caught "nut-less" when the cold winter months come. We could learn alot from the squirrels if we were open to it. Next time you see a squirrel, Say Hello and talk alittle with him.....see what you can learn.

Yes they do care. If it was an oak they just lost a very valuble food source. They also lost a home. Not only does it effect squirrels, but also birds, racoons, and others. A single tree is an entire ecosystem, and it is a very important part of many animal's lifes. Let alone humans, because trees give off oxygen.

If they are tree squirrels then yes, kuz they just lost their home. Tho I doubt squirrels sit around like we do and think about the significance of falling trees.

You bet your sweet bibbie they care.
First of all the noise is very loud and second of all, the trees are their homes so of course they care about the trees that fall in a forrest.

The only thing squirrels care about is squirrels. And walking on electric lines.

Squirrels care about nothing because they got big nuts.

I think this would depend on the squirrel. If it is his house, then yes, if it is the neighbor squirrels house then nope.

I think the squirrels would only care if it was their home. They'd be so pissed because that's where their nuts are.
