Numbers have been decimated partly because of grey squirrels. now, you breed red squirrels, here. could we see growing numbers of red squirrels, do you think? what can we do to help that come about? there are about 2 million plus grays girls ina are about 2 million plus grays girls in a country, introduced from north america about 1870 —— grey squirrels in the country. theres possibly about 120,000 red swirls left. the grey squirrels carry a disease which is lethal to the red swirls. and als...
