❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Popular pet squirrel names include Nutty, Hazel, Peanut, Acorn, Chip, Nibbles, and Pippin. The best name depends on your squirrel's personality — playful squirrels suit names like Scamper or Zippy, while calm ones match names like Maple or Willow.
For backyard visitors, fun names work best! Try behavior-based names like "The Nut Bandit", "Sir Steals-a-Lot", or "Feeder Raider". Descriptive names like "Red", "Fluffy Tail", or "Chubby Cheeks" are also great choices that help you tell them apart.
Hilarious options include: Nutella, Earl of Squirrel, Alvin, Squirrely Temple, Branch Manager, Nut Case, Sir Nuts-a-Lot, The Godfeather, and Chewbarka. Puns and food-related names are always crowd favorites!
Wild squirrels can recognize sounds associated with feeding but don't truly respond to names. Pet squirrels, however, can learn their names with consistent use, especially when paired with treats. It takes patience, but many owners report success!
Adorable baby squirrel (called kits) names include: Tiny, Button, Pipsqueak, Nugget, Bean, Little Nut, Pip, Squeaky, and Pebble. Small-themed names suit these tiny creatures perfectly!
