Squirrels

Pet Squirrels come in different species, but not all are legal to keep as pets. Common pet species include the Southern Flying Squirrel, known for its ability to glide, and the Eastern Gray Squirrel, which is larger and more common in the wild. Ground Squirrels, such as the Richardson’s Ground Squirrel, are another breed sometimes kept as pets. All pet squirrels are active, agile, and need large spaces to climb and explore.
Before adopting a squirrel, it's essential to research legal regulations, as keeping many species is illegal in some areas. Squirrels require special habitats, including large cages with branches and climbing structures. Their diet should include nuts, fruits, and vegetables.
Challenges in owning a squirrel include their high energy levels, potential for biting, and strong need for mental stimulation. Squirrels are wild animals at heart, so they can be difficult to handle and may not always adapt well to domestic life. Proper research and preparation are crucial.
