Awwwwwww! I want one! My hubby was talking to someone who keeps squirrels the other day - apparantly they will bond with one human and one human only, and hate everyone else! I'd be gutted if we got one and it loved him instead of me though

sorry but the only normal squirrels that I know are kept captive are those that have been hand reared from the wild and for some reason haven't been released, you would need at the very least a very large aviary/enclosure their life is considerably shortened if kept in the house, they are such sociable creatures with their own company that I think it would be very cruel to keep one by itself, as you know we hand rear them but all of ours are released they choose to come back to us for food etc but we would never consider keeping one as a "pet", as adults they can be agressive and do a lot of damage they would wreck a house very quickly, they don't just go to one person or at least ours don't they are equally as freindly to the staff in the main house or anyone who chooses to feed them. The joy and aim of rearing any wild animal is to successfully release it back into the wild not keep it as a pet and if the rearer doesn't live where they can be released then there are plenty of organisations that do have that facility, you do need a lisence to release we get away with it because of where we live.
