I've suddenly become a squirrel dad

release more than likely...but i'm hoping that he will stay around my yard and be friendly

 

donate to a wildlife rehab as soon as possible. you will be bitten, they will chew your house to bits, they basically go crazy at a month old and its all downhill from there till they escape. good luck! lol

 

So cute!! Good luck with him. Do you have a PAWS (animal welfare center) or anything like that nearby you could take him to? They would be more equipped to take care of him.

I hope he makes it!!

 

Aww...he's adorable. You might wanna check state laws though. Some can be quite struck with caring for wild animals. I've read horror stories of people keeping animals that were deemed illegal and having them taken away.

hes legal. just a bad idea. hehehehe

 

I had a guy I worked with who raised one. She was the sweetest thing. Never bit, never tore things up, nothing. He let her out of her cage one day and someone left his front door open. She was curious, ran out and he didn't see her again.

 

I dont think its ever a bad idea to save an animal...i know people say "let nature take its course" but i just cant when its something like this..

 

they are called wild animals for a reason. they dont potty train either.

 

let me clarify.. a bad idea as a pet!

 

its kinda good and bad when this happens. I once found a nest of baby rabbits whos mother had either died or abandoned them in are yard. I had almost mowed the nest of on my riding lawnmower. anyway me and my sister raised them for a while and released them once they where a decent size. However they now were "tammed" short of speak. They where no longer scarred of humans or any other animals for that matter. a couple of them just hung out in are yard all summer. We felt like we had taken some of the natural "wild" instinct from them. that was one of those your damned if you do your damned if ya dont situations..
