So I got a big fat pumpkin and some peanut butter. I found this article about having a naturally-carved pumpkin:

Using a drill to make holes in the pumpkin is something I've done before. I like it as a lazy carving technique.
I thought you guys might like to follow along the progress, so I'll take some pictures and we'll see what happens.
It sounds like it could take as few as a couple of days for the squirrels to do their work, and then it'll go bad like a week later. Which means this might be a trial run before Halloween, and we do another later.
