As im biking to work this fine morning, at the end of my driveway I notice a little grey clump. I drive over and see that its a baby squirrel! I didnt have time at the moment to take care of it or anything so I got a shoebox and put some blankets in it and left it on my porch, hopeing that the mom would find it and take it home. No luck. When I got home I see that its still in the box not moving at all. So I did some research and went to buy a bottle so I could feed it milk. Right now he's just chillin in the shoe box sleeping. I have determinded from pictures that he is about 2-3 weeks old and should be crawling in about 4-5 weeks. I will post pictures of hom ASAP! Anyone know anything about taking in abannoned animals? Anything I should expect? Thanks
You're horrible Pete! I want to keep it as a pet, but I dont think squrrels are tameable. Ps. Have you ever actually had squirrel meat? Just wonderin.
they are tamable! they can get pretty attached to you actually, and some squirrels will actually come to you when you call their name. some animals have a hard time when theyre separated from their parents and may go in to a type of depression and not eat. just be affectionate and give him a lot of attention. oh and ive had squirrel before... it is actually pretty tasty but not really worth it. i was going to get a flying squirrel this fall but have decided on a sugar glider instead
my dad found a bady squirel and he kept it as a pet for like 6 years and they used to let it run around the house. It would sleep in the cabinet and shit and just chill ith you the this was fuckin sick
trian it to use a litter box and to pickpocket on command. nothing says im cool liek a pickpocketing squirell. sp. to bent for this
You absolutely have to teach it how to waterski. And i bet you can domesticate it. I recently saw a tame hippo on animal planet. It actually swims with its owners and sleeps with the dogs
the ferret would try to kill it just like any other rodent... your going to need a lot more stuff than just a bottle and formula *hope youre not using just milk from the jug...* cage sleepsack/nestsack bedding toys food *soon* and to make sure its legal where you are...and careful...it could be sick...so for now keep any other animals away from it wash ur hands before AND after holding it my dads gf used to foster squirrels... him being in the open like that for so long...i hope he pulls thru...but i wouldnt get my hopes up. taking in ANY wild animal to foster...even a healthy one...runs a high death rate...but you can at least make him comfy... good luck
Yeah my friend brought a baby squirrel home, and it died a couple of days later, and they did everything they could.
my girlfriend found on outside of her work once, and we kept it for a few days but it died. they need a lot of care, and make sure its very warm when it goes to sleep.
