Answer 2

From Ohio State University:

"The first two, the gray squirrel and the fox squirrel, sleep at night in dens and drays. A den, usually a hole in a tree, is typically used in winter. The hole is lined with comfy stuff like moss and fur and feathers. Ahhh.

A dray is a nest of leaves and twigs, the size of a basketball, built in a tree?s upper branches. Summer drays may be just a platform. Winter drays are warm and waterproof.

Red squirrels, for their part, sleep in dens and drays as well. But their den may be in a hole in a tree or even a log on the ground."

Also, you may not be able to see the holes because they may be too far up the tree, or in a crotch you can't see from the ground.

Hope this helps!
