prince, I have a similar situation to Sir Hiss-A-Lot. I forgot to mention that I had a situation where I still had an assortment of pumpkins left from Halloween and still present on my front porch. Into December, I saw small nibbles and bite marks on them. I don't have a front door camera.
When it snowed and iced over recently, I identified the culprit. I had a suspicion it could have been stray cats or an opossum. Instead, it was a large, plump, and chubby squirrel. I have not seen legs and a bottom like this one on a squirrel before.
To my amazement, during the course of weeks, it managed to detach the top of one pumpkin and empty it bare. Towards the end, it went at all of the remnant seeds. There were moments where I saw it hold onto the side of exposed pumpkin top with its small and puny hands, and then proceed to stick its entire head deep into the bottom of pumpkin, with its tail up.
I had a pet name a for squirrel. But I decided to go with a different nickname. I named it "Acorns!" I like to think that my old pumpkins saved this squirrel during this frozen winter.
