It's funny how completely fascinated with them I've become.
I've noticed that every now and again, other squirrels do try to get into their house - there a particular blonde squirrel and a pair of little red squirrels that are particularly persistent - and they always end up getting their asses handed to them and chased off.

That rules. I love when that stuff happens. Just the other day, I had the male squirrel sitting next to me on my front stoop eating Brazil nuts from my hand when the mailman walked up and was blown away by how calm the little guy was.
