Squirrels don’t seem like they would make a good pet
They make awful good gravy.. :)
They don’t. My dog brought two infants to his dog bed. Found them in the woods when a nest was overturned after a storm. One died from internal injuries.
Hand fed the survivor. Cute. Had a cage built. Learned to get out....and out of the house through the dryer vent. Acorns kept showing up in my dirty clothes basket.
Would finally mature and would growl and bite when I would try to feed. Bye-bye.
Handed her over to a vet tech who lived in the country. We had cats.
Now I think of them as tree rats. They have screwed up our plumbing vents to the tune of several hundred dollars.
And I don’t brake for them anymore.
There are some really cute videos on the dodo youtube channel. People rescue a baby and raise it for release but they want to stay with the family.
Here’s one:

#4. But they taste like chicken!
Actually, we had a semi-wild squirrel living in our maple tree for years and eventually he would come over, run up my arm, sit on my shoulder and eat a peanut I gave him.
Never got bitten.
They are smarter than a lot of people I know, esp. Democrats and have bigger balls.
They don't make good "congress critters" either!
