I have had my female squirrel since she was 6 weeks old , and found her when her mum had been killed, she is so tame she cuddles me and will climb into bed with me for cuddles, she will slip into my pocket and walk around with me all day, she even lets me cut her claws for her.I did try to release her but she came home after a week so ill that I would not put her through it again,she cannot fent for herself having never had too. her diet is quite expensive because suprisingly after some research they do not just live on nuts also.She loves all my other animals and is not spiteful, neither does she bite.She fits in with all the family and we do adore her.

Yes, you can pet some pet squirrels. Charlie probably let us handle him more because he was so young when we found him. Sign into MySpace and you can enjoy some pictures. We also have some video.
Charlie came right up to one of our neighbors (9/07/2007) who immediately picked Charlie up and showed him to us. Charlie lived in one of our bathrooms for a couple of weeks. We knew we couldn't keep him so we let him loose in the tree in front of our house. He stayed there for the most part. As he got older, he wandered more often.
The first week, Charlie was so comfortable with us that he would sleep in my lap or in my son's pocket! He would actually step off of the tree, walk onto my arm, and eat out of my hand.
Sadly, Charlie is no longer with us. He was run over by a car and killed (10/22/2007). Charlie was a very special gift and always brought a smile to my face. Strangly, I find myself greiving over a little gray squirrel.

Yikes! I like them, but not sure I want to wear one!
