What is the title of the Ice Age short film in which Scrat travels through time?

The story behind the answer

The Ice Age short film in which Scrat travels through time is titled No Time for Nuts.

No Time for Nuts follows Scrat after he discovers a time machine. His attempt to protect or retrieve his acorn sends him through different historical periods, creating a chain of comic encounters and disruptions. The short uses the character’s familiar obsession with the acorn as the basis for a time-travel adventure.

The film was released in 2006 and was associated with Ice Age: The Meltdown. It is one of the franchise’s theatrical shorts rather than a full-length feature. The short’s title is a pun on the phrase “no time for...” and directly signals its time-travel premise.

No Time for Nuts should not be confused with the later short Surviving Sid or with Scrat’s appearances in the main films. Its defining object is the time machine.
