  • wow...

  • When an animal rolls onto its back like that its showing its trusting you, and being passive, its showing its most vulnerable part of its body to you, which is the belly.

  • Have to poke him in the butt to get his attention.... >.< Amazing.... ^^

  • Comment removed

  • where did they get him is he wild or bought

  • I like feeding squirrels but I'm always nervous one will latch onto my face when they're that close.

  • I have one to the most likely and probably only way to get one is like what i did i found him when he was abandonded by his mother in my shed its common for people to have squirrels/ducks/and raccons because they get abondonded by their mothers alot

  • They should name him Rabies :D jkjk

  • y iz the dude touchin his heine??

  • thats one fat squirrel

  • Chads first video!!

  • I found me a baby squirrel yesterday. Poor thing fell out of its nest somewhere and I found it next to a road so I brought it home with me. I named it Alvin lol

  • My family found a baby squirrel one day ( I was little). We built an outdoor cage for him, but we always left the door for it open. He was the best. You could make the slightest noise, and he'd come out and rest on your shoulders. Crazy

  • i bet that thing could draw some blood

  • GAHHH!!! YOU LUCKY BASTARD!! ;A;

  • how do they get it???????

  • man i always wanted one

  • I lived on the bayou and use to eat shelled peanuts on my porch. I left a bag out there closed up and ran an errand, when I came back there were several dozen squirrels on my back porch and they had broke into my peanut back and it was almost gone. After that, I started putting them up on the ledge and they would come right by my head and get it. Then I started feeding them from my hand (fingers). It was kind of creepy but very cool. You could hear their claws climbing up the side of the fence.

  • having a pet squirrel would be so awesome =D

  • This video is very precious and special to me and I hope you never delete it.  I had a much-loved pet squirrel with whom I would play the same way; she is dead and I never had video footage of her and when I watch this, it reminds me of her so very much. It's a bittersweet enjoyment, for sure, but I do enjoy watching this video from time to time and it never fails to bring both smiles and tears of remembrance.

  • Trust me if a squirrel intends to bite you, your gonna feel it. it dosn't take a lot of figuring out to realize that biteforce + sharp enough teeth to crack nuts with ease will go through your skin and flesh like butter.

    Besides - short of using a trap - if a squirrel dosn't want to be near you then you aren't going to be able to touch it. I dare you ... try to chase down a squirrel with your bare hands. Good luck I say ;)

    I think its safe to say this squirrel is just playful and comfortable.

  • That is soo cute, my cat does that too!

  • Best squirrel video.

  • how do u get a pet sqirrel

  • pikachu, use thunderbolt!

  • I didn't think that was possible...

  • @bonbon1216 A squirrel will fuck you up if it wants too. You ever been bitten? I'm gonna guess no, because you would see blood and know better.

  • Actually, the squirrel is attacking. It is stressed out. Wild animals shouldn't be tamed, they should stay in the wild as it is. I know what I'm talking about, I work at penetentury glen which rehabs animals and I work with squrrels ALOT and have learned alot about them.

  • @BonBon1216 I really don't think the squirrel is attacking. I've worked closely with them for a while as well, and a squirrel that feels threatened will bite, hard, or just run away entirely. It wouldn't keep going back to the hand or roll onto its back without prompting. It's playing.

  • @BonBon1216 Yea, set your cats and dogs freeeeeeee

  • @BonBon1216 My dad used to trap wild squirrels on accident when he would trap rabbits... When he caught the squirrels he wouldn't even bother with them because they would try and bite him. If this squirrel was attacking him it would have bit the piss outta that man's hand and I DOUBT that squirrel is attacking him.

  • do you like keep it in a cage cuz won't it run away?

  • wow cool

  • @cwdressen-you have your dad's laugh & his way with animals. :)

  • @ty1977,

    The left one! :)

    After one more day I think he is used to us. And he's eating well! Bananas, celery, lettuce, cashews, almonds, chestnuts...and we feed him warm milk. :)

    When he awakes he jumps out of his little box and comes jumping to climb onto our shoulders.

    He's adorable!

  • Hi, the video is awesome.

    I have a question - my girlfriend found a baby squirrel inside the house, sleeping in one of my slippers (he always sleeps there now...). We decided to keep him as he is afraid to be outside. How do we feed him? He seems to like bananas a lot but that's all he eats and just once a day, and spends most of the day sleeping. What sort of foods should we give him?

  • @GabrielGaleano  left or right slipper?

  • My grandmother had a pet squirrel. It was an adult and her leg was hurt. My grandmother started to give it peanuts out of pity. She started coming out of the tree whenever my grandmother was around. By that next summer it was barking at her for attention (or just to say hello).

  • thats so cool, at 0:30 the squirrel look like he was gonna karate chop the guy...

  • My jealousy is unparalleled at this moment.

  • did you find it in the wild or is it store bought thats so cool!

  • stop poking its bum . o.0 ... :P

  • how do u catch them

  • if you get them as babies its real easy, like any other animal, (well mammal anyway)

  • How absolutely adorable. I Want One!!!!!!!!

  • awww! I wanna little squirrelyy!!!

  • Mommy i wont a squirrel for christmas! XD

  • Thats cool! How did it come about that it let your folks near it ? 

  • my family had 2 nutys and peanut

  • aaaaw i want one *-*

  • Lmao he's like "wai...wait wait whoaaaa! YOU ARE NOT THE TREE! MYYYYY TREE!"

  • that is amazing

  • Pet squirrels are so cute when they're young, but they get vicious when they get older and their bites and claws hurt. I wish they were easier to tame....

  • @PharodWormhair:

    I had one years ago and he lived 14 years. He was not viscous. He remained as playful as the one in this video. I got him before his eyes were open and bottle raised him. But yeah, the claws do scratch if he tried to climb up on you with bare skin.

  • Just remember, rock and ground squirrels can still carry the black plague virus.

  • Cute little guy

  • Omygosh I am SO damn jealous right now! 0_0

  • oh how cool, i wish i had one! he sure loves belly rubs!

  • better not take a shower around your pet squirrel or he might collect your nuts

  • @RetardRage99 LMAO!!! hahhahahahah! good one man XDDD

  • i want a pet Squirrel!!!

  • He hates u

  • wow, such a friendly squirrel

  • I want one

  • u are the tamer of the squirrel

  • id love a pet squirrel too until i remember:

    a few years back a lady caught the black(bubonic) plague from a pet squirrel just a couple miles north of me in Mt. Baldy.

  • Dude!!! How do you do that?! I want a pet squirrel so bad!!

  • Pet squirrels are awesome, I remember when I had one.

  • How the heck did you tame that squirell?

  • @card969 easy its prob been there for 7 years or so and they feed it and mess with get it to eat from there hand then it turns out like this in 7 years

    hopes HELPS =D

  • @card969 It's real simple. I get them when they're babies and you bottle feed them. They can be raised on puppy formula. I know, because I did too.

  • @card969 you get them as babys

  • @card969 It's really easy. We found my pet squirrel as a baby. He just ran right up to my mom and sat at her feet. And her being an animal lover, she just picked him right up, and he curled up in her hands and fell asleep. He's still very friendly with my mom, my sister, and me. He doesn't like strangers. :]

  • @card969

    You have to raise them, they won't tame otherwise.

  • @card969 Squirells are easily tamed. 

  • @card969 not hard, a lot of patience and treats to get them to trust you, then just work from there, I had a couple as wild pets as you could say, they'd come to me, looking for a little snack and then stick around, playing, one even used to sleep in my hands, really fun, and not bad intelligence either.

  • @flamedrag18

    I agree, loads of patience. I had a "wild pet" squirrel a decade back, took me a couple of months for the little fluff to actually let me come close, on other places than the small table where I'd feed him. Had to move after a bout a year though. The new house owners thought it was rather funny and kept feeding the squirrel. Was taken by an Osprey about half a year after i moved away though, an old neighbor told me. I cried.

  • how cute i bet climbs all over the place!

  • OMG :) amazing!!!!

  • is he tickling the squirrel in the first few secs.?

  • He looks like he could roll with Ramsey and Pablo lol. Crazy lil squirrelly.

  • hes very playful

  • you dont get rabis unless they draw blood

  • @AbunzaGoldMine Squirrels can't get rabies, their bodies are too small. If they do, they would die hours after they got it. So it probably wouldn't be near humans anyways.

  • how were u able to tame it. I lover squirrels. I love exotic pets in general lol.

  • its rabies not aids

  • you're sick

  • thats so cool good for u man i wish i could do that.....nice vid

  • that's amazing

  • LMFAO AT 52 SECONDS OMG

  • We had a pet squirrel two times. I am now going to tell a story, During the 2005 hurricanes everything was being destroyed, after the hurricanes we went to see the aftermath, then we stumbled across a baby squirrel,we raised it for two years then it tragically died by the pompano beach city workers, they planted poison to kill the squirrels our pet squirrel ate the poison and died. Then a few weeks later we found another baby, it died the next day we never found out why.

  • they are the cutest animal but you don't want them indoors they will chew everything in sight

  • humans and animals bonding, is the best thing~`
