This is a must-listen-to episode for squirrel hunters.

They discuss this very thing. Their balls retract up into them outside of breeding season. Is there a chance that it did have them, but you didn't notice them while cleaning it?

Yep, they're also known as "married" squirrels.

My grandpa always explained to me that the female (mother) squirrel had bitten the little ones nuts off when it was in the nest.
I've seen quite a few like that, always believed what he said.

i have found 2 baby squirrels that had fallen/jumped out of the nest, that had their balls chewed off. I was told it was male squirrels that did it to the babies

This is what I have been told, they did it when there was a excess of males.

Have herd that red squirrels (not fox) will do this to gray squirrels. Had never seen a red squirrel until about 15 years ago and it was when we hunted in the Loosahatchie river bottoms. Killed a bunch of them with my feist. They were not as good to eat. Have seen a few but not many in the last couple of years in middle Tennessee. Have been told they will eat the nuts out of a baby gray squirrel but don't know if it is true.
A nut's a nut, I suppose.
I've never witnessed a squirrel do this but I have seen a male rabbit cut the nuts off another male rabbit.

I guess it "identified" as a female so it could go to lady squirrel bathrooms.

Those don't retract up...they're in a jar back at the nest only to be brought out when she decides he can have them.Yep, they're also known as "married" squirrels.
