After the first year they are adults and known simply as squirrels. sorry, no special name for them, weird huh.. good Q

A kit.
Reproduction -- Squirrels start mating when they are a year old. It takes about six weeks from the time the squirrels mate until the baby squirrels, called kittens, are born. Twice a year, in the spring and at the end of the summer, the female squirrel has two to five kittens.
