I also prefer to relocate squirrels.  I relocate them to a large metal 
holding container with plenty of other squirrels for company, fresh water, 
potatoes, carrots and other tasty treats.  To be sure that they get essential 
micronutrients, I add some salt.  

A comfortable temperature for the squirrels is important.  I am sure to keep 
them warm (about 100 degrees C).  So that they are not overheated, I first 
remove their fur coats.

After a few hours, they seem very comfortable in their new environment and I 
can even let them out.  They are so tame that I even enjoy their company at 
dinner.  They are so well-behaved that I don't worry about them stealing food 
from me.  They seemed so stressed before with all the racing around, throwing 
fruit on the ground, and scolding everyone.

It is a much happier arrangement and coincidentally, my grocery bills are 
less now.  It must be because I don't have to buy fruit.  ;)
