The warning comes after Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels received two reports of lethargic and sick looking red squirrels.
Members of the public have been urged to take “immediate action” after two reports of possible squirrelpox in Stirling.
The warning comes after the Scottish Wildlife Trust partnership project Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels received two reports of lethargic and sick-looking red squirrels near Mine Wood in Bridge of Allan.
The organisation is urging the public to take immediate action and protect the local red population by taking in all wildlife feeders for the next month to help prevent any possible spread of disease.
It comes almost a year after the first squirrelpox-related death of a red squirrel north of Scotland’s Central Belt was confirmed in Dunfermline.
