That's sad. The squirrels probably will have much smaller litters, so they'll almost certainly decrease in numbers.
After I gave up on trying to keep squirrels from bird feeders (though I now have a few that are truly squirrel-proof), I started feeding them peanuts and sunflower seeds. I sometimes worry about contributing to unsustainable over-population. There are a few squirrel generations that think food comes from people...like this one patiently waiting for peanuts.
