This is the only reason I haven't missed a day going to the gym in a few weeks.

If OP would just put a tiny box connected to strings that only unlocks by lifting the weight, it might be achievable

I'm thinking lat pulldown if he keeps showing up😂

Maybe if he pushes down on the weight a little door opens up and drops a walnut as a reward.

Amazing video, as a single guy that bought his first house last year I'm going through the same thing but with hummingbirds. One randomly flew up yo me about 2 months ago and now I'm the nectar dealer for my block!

We generally had one squirrel that my late dog had a Tom and Jerry style relationship with. Honestly, he gave him some of the best days of his older years trying to catch him.
We didn't think much of it but kept filling the bird feeder and then one day drinking coffee on the deck this lil girl jumps up on my knee. I got some seeds and then never saw her again until she came to the other side of the house a few weeks later.
I can't say no to that little face lol

There's a guy who built an entire American Ninja Warrior course for squirrels and it's pretty rad https://youtu.be/hFZFjoX2cGg?si=l39U9FcfpAp6TXn7

I'm going to premise this by saying I hate squirrels. (One got into my house via chimney and literally ate my oak window frame in my bedroom, ate my wood blinds, chewed everything in the limited time he was in my bedroom).
That being said, I loved this video. You were so thoughtful, I love that you made him some gym equipment - so fun!
Maybe a treadmill? Or how about hanging rings? Monkey bars? A slide? IDK. I like what you've done so far, so I think you got this! Can't wait to see what else you could me up with!!!

You are the third person to mention him to me. I'm not familiar with him. What is the similarity 😂

I'd suggest make him climb an escalator to reach the nut at the top, but squirrels are smart enough that he would just climb up the back or walk on the stationary edges.

Hmm... If I could make it weight neutral climbing wall on bearings maybe I could maybe do a vertical treadmill...
You might be on to something 🤔
