I'm curious to know if anyone on here has ever kept squirrels as pets, or if they know someone who has them?
I was looking for a new budgie the other day and saw two squirrels,obviously scared out of their wits and fighting for the tiny hidingspace under their water dish. I felt so sorry for them, but they seemto be such flighty animals that they wouldn't make good pets. If I knewhow to care for them, I might have taken them home (and if I'd have themoney, they were trying to sell them for about US$120!). They werebeing kept in a tiny bird cage, probably about 30x30cm for the base,maybe about 50cm high, which is obviously ridiculously small for suchactive creatures.
