A bit off-topic, but about his name, I'm not sure it's really supposed to be romanized as "Squealer" though it definitely comes from that word... it's スクィーラ "suquiira" a "ー" short of "squealer." The official site romanizes it as "Squera" though the pronounciation doesn't really add up if you ask me.
Anyway, apparently all bakenezumi have names like that (except for Kiroumaru, we only know his gifted name). Squealer, Squonk, later on there's a Squeaky (or Squeaker? can't remember)... I think the author just wanted to go for something that evokes a rat-like animal.
