I've only seen fleas on the squirrels from my other property, never seen them on the ones @ my residence. Seems odd but I'm not complaining.

If it makes you feel any better.
1) The squirrels are already dead and throwing them in the trash is no better/worse/different than "mutilating" them when it comes to the utilization of the meat.
2) Even with expert direction, you'll still feel like there is plenty of improvement to be made the first few times you field dress an animal.
3) You can do it!!!!
Every year when hunting season gets close, I spend a lot of time watching field dressing videos. Then hunting season comes and I don't have a video in the woods. That you can do it on your kitchen counter with a video right in front of you is a tremendous advantage. I've field dressed a coyote, on my own, well enough that I got a good looking full mount of out of her when I was done. If I remember correctly, I also used a pocket knife. That was after only field dressing a deer and maybe two-three elk and this was a completely different animal. Soooooooo
You can do it!!!
Go to Meateater.com and see if they have videos up for small game. I know they have decent tutorials in their small game hunting guide and cook books, which you're welcome to borrow if you like.

I don't really feel like this counts as a tornado, but it was cool and lasted for several minutes. There were actually two (well more like four, but only one larger). The owners of the property were very concerned about me standing on the roof while these were going by and the farmer (who was on top of his combine at the time) said if it got close enough, it'd be strong enough to pull him out and toss him to the ground.
I don't count these as tornadoes, merely dust devils. I feel like I've seen plenty in baseball diamonds.

My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one, and it stinks more than mine.
Yo Homie, That my chainsaw ?

Now 5 squirrels.
My husband doesn't want to open the freezer. He's got some hang up about whole (but double bagged) squirrels being next to the otter pops I guess.
Very funny to me because he used to hunt in Alaska & has a huge tote full of game bags & whatnot.
