    Up to 6! It says tht the female emits an odour and males will chase them for up to an hour before mating.....did you produce any strange odours on Saturday Squizz, or is that just today:p

    I looked everywhere even on http://www.redsquirrel.info and I couldn't find what they are called. Would have thought they would be called something a bit more interesting though.
