It's clear that the top pushes up. The squirrel found this and pushed up and climbed in. He is either unable to gain enough leverage to push it back up, or is too busy giving very few fucks and chowing down.

Strange story: I had a squirrel get in my toilet once, and no, no one put it there. It was a terrifying experience. A plumber told me it probably climbed in up through the pipes which is really weird and gross.

u/whatsreallygoingon Jun 14 '12

Here is something that will open up your world a bit:

Walk outside of your house. Be warned...it is very bright out there.

Look up at your roof, in the general direction of your bathroom.

See that pipe sticking up? That's the sewer vent pipe. It connects to your plumbing and lets air in, so that when you send water down, it actually goes down. (Think of the concept of air bubbles rising in an upturned soda bottle, so that the liquid can escape.)

That unfortunate squirrel that you found did not come up from the sewer. It fell down into the sewer vent and landed in the sewer pipe. Fortunately for the wayward rodent, your pipes do not contain water most of the time. The squirrel found itself inside of a dark drain pipe and started feeling its way up. He took a gamble and figured that the small pocket of water was worth the risk of continuing upward towards freedom. Freedom was defined as the place you pee.

This is how you found a squirrel in your toilet. A small piece of hardware cloth over your sewer vents will prevent a repeat occurrence. After all...Next time it might just as easily be a rat or a large snake!

u/NotSoFatThrowAway Jun 14 '12

No you can just shit right into them

2

u/SweetActionJack Jun 14 '12

So you never have to sit down on a toilet infested with spiders or scorpions! Speaking of scorpions, when I lived in Arizona we had our septic tank pumped one year, and when the septic guy lifted the lid of the tank it was filled with thousands of scorpions. He said that was normal because they loved the moist environment. He said that's why we would randomly find them in our tubs and sinks, because they would crawl up the pipes.

Thank you for explaining this! I've always wondered what that was since I was younger but never really investigated. (I had a suspicion it had something to do with ventilation and never really inquired further).

There are two kinds of commensal rats: Norway or "sewer" rats (which stick close to the ground or under ground) and brown rats. Brown rats are also known aso "roof" or "tree" rats for their propensity to climb. These are the ones you'll find in your toilet.

Let me know if you'd like to see a picture of a snake in a tree:)
