I'm in mid FL on the coast and last week was the first time I have seen these wounds on a couple of squirrels. I noticed some with what looked like tumors on their backs and some with round open, bloody wounds. Also when these squirrels show up all of my regular squirrels seem to vanish? It is quite the sight to see such horrible wounds on these poor little guys. I thought it was a territorial thing since it looks like the males have these wounds and all the girls don't? They're eating well and don't seem to have any other issues. I'm going to put out some coconut to see if it helps.
