Squirrels come to our porch & back door sometimes looking for food. We had this one squirrel named Sammi that used to come and see us a lot, but he doesn't come anymore. I don't know what happened to him. He would jump on us but he won't really let us pet him he'd try to bite. He only wanted food. :/
A squirrel came to our house today and I gave him some peanuts. It didn't come close to me enough that I could pet it. It was fine, though as long as I got to look at it. :)
If someone posts a comment about shooting squirrels with pellet guns, just remember, that IS illegal, to shoot them out of season, in a non hunting area, and with a pellet gun, they can go to jail, and they can look up their IP address. animal cruelty is against the law.
But I am glad to see so many people are outraged by animal cruelty. All the experiments they do for medical research, on squirrels is far more weird and sick than teenagers shooting a few with pellet guns.
Once u start feeding a squirrel and he gets used to you. you have to keep feeding right? cause i want to feed one but dont u have to keep feeding it because it will keep expecting u?????
Wow, I have a pet squirrel with videos posted of him and hes my little companion, but I never would have imagined this kind of trust being made with a wild squirrel, did u start feeding him the moment he began to ween from its mother? thats the only way I can see this happening, that or someone else did before he met you... however you did it, good job :)
@lmos26 No, just worked with her over time. Some are more "scratchable" than others. As stated below, you start with curled-up fingers to the stomach while they eat from your palm. Actually had several that I could pet. One baby let me pet him almost from the start.
@armadilloze Yeah that's why I thought you must of met this one when it was weening because they tend to just let you pick them up, totally naive to danger... You must be a very patient man to never over step their boundaries and violate such a delicate trust :) He almost trusts you as much as my little Zosi trusts me and I raised from a pinky
I wanna pet it!! @_@ the squirrels around here run away so fast and when i try to toss some food to them they must think i chucked a rock at em cause i blink and POOF! they're gone. :(
I find most squirrels will tolerate damn near anything if you feed them. The ones around the campgrounds here will crawl all over you and check you pockets if they think you might have something that even resembles food on you.
@aemidaniels I had one, Nutalie, that would dig in my loose sweatpants pockets all the way up to her back legs. And she would "hang out," sit beside (or on) me with no food treats.
I also feed 1 squirrel that visit me at least 3 times a day....just now she allow me touch his front leg and stomach...it took me 8 monts before pet her...she also have a very small baby squirrel hope he/she will come soon
I find they're total fiends for popcorn. I was mugged by a gang of them in East London last week. I concur that they nibble your fingers because they mistake them for nuts. They don't have a vicious bone in their fluffy little bodies, unlike some of the commenters here.
Have you ever been bitten? I love to feed them and find them adorable... but swear they tried to jump me last time at the park :( They came out of every tree and was surrounded, so dropped the food and got out of there lol Would love to pet one, but am a bit hesitant... they'll just run if don't want to be touched, right?
@meloliver619 Noop, just a little nibble when they think my finger is a treat. They can't see what's near their mouth. Eventually they learn where the food is. Yeah, they'll run off if you try to touch one, unless he's used to it.
@goarmy979 Almost all serial killers and other perverts like Jeffrey Dahmer started out torturing and/or killing animals. Were you friends with Dahmer, or an admirer? Does your mother know you say things like this?
@armadilloze i dont like killing animals for fun and i dont torture animals either i simply kill animals to eat them have you ever had squirrel stew becouse if you havent you should try it its reall really good no joke
@goarmy979 Just read where a friend had a cat shot with a pellet gun. I've had one squirrel shot, looked like a pellet gun wound. Couldn't catch him to get him to a vet, but he would let me feed him. He dragged both back legs for a couple of months but eventually got better, but still limped. A real champ. That is what happens when you miss, lots of suffering. Still fun?
@armadilloze im 17 and yes i can afford targets but again i dont shoot peoples pets i shoot wild animals to eat and my pellet gun isnt like an ordinary pellet gun its desighned for hunting and only hunting and plus its better than trapping them and throwing them away while there in the cage like alot of other do and again i dont torture animals or shoot them for fun. conversation over
@goarmy979 So you don't deny you're OK if you just wound one and leave it to suffer and probably die a slow death, tough guy. Thanks for clearing that up.
@goarmy979 You should try shooting yourself with your pellet gun and see how it feels. Children like yourself should not be playing with guns. Go buy some Legos or something, sheesh.
@armadilloze: that's a confounding variable ... you could also argue that serial killers started out with broken families. Dahmer's parents divorced, Ed Gein's parents divorced, Hitler's dad beat him frequently because of retirement and failed farming efforts, etc.
@AznInsurrection777 Those are things done to them. Animal torture is a thing done by them by choice, a behavior, and has an almost 100% correlation. Your sample size is too small. You cannot pick and choose only the cases that fit your assertion. That's bad science.

Hm, r ≈ 1.0 source? Sounds like terrible science to me. Population: serial killers. Take an SRS of that to calculate an unbiased estimate of population correlation efficient. r of 1.0 sounds VERY unlikely.
Things that happen to you can influence who you are, as well as things that don't happen to you (imagine what things kids w/ abusive parent(s) or 1 parent or no parents get/don't get). Not just things you do out of your own will.
@AznInsurrection777 Please learn to read. I didn't say all, I said "almost 100% correlation." I'd wager that some serial killers led privileged lives. SOME, not all. Show me a TV show about serial killers and abusive parents. There were enough cases of animal torturers to make a one hour program out of it.
So are you defending animal torture or whut, sicko? Do you torture animals for fun? My guess is yes.
@armadilloze: "Hm, r ≈ 1.0 source?" is correlation is ABOUT EQUAL to 100%. I mentioned "r of 1.0 is VERY unlikely" (which would mean ALL) afterwards, but you know what I meant..
Otherwise no, correlation isn't really all that close to 100%. As I said earlier, serial killers is our population. The chances of taking a simple random sample out of the population and getting a 100% correlation is very unlikely since many serial killers were not animal torturers.

@AznInsurrection777 There's a program on Animal Planet at 4:00 a.m. CT titled "My First Kill" about how serial killers start with animals. Maybe it will repeat again (this is a repeat from earlier today). If not, maybe their web site has something. Knowledge is power.
@armadilloze: orly? There's also a search engine called Google. If you type "broken families crime" or "divorce crime" into the search box, you'll gain super powers from reading the different results.
@armadilloze: O god, I just reread your post about the documentary and laughed. ANIMAL PLANET of course the statistics aren't rigged (if any are provided, at all).
At least it wasn't a documentary by PETA, holy shit. 'Knowledge' from PETA would be like giving you negative power or some shit, making you weaker O.o...
@armadilloze: Evidence? What are you talking about? The nonexistent EVIDENCE for a 'r' of near 1.0? Ignored.
Do you know what I've done to animals? I ... I ... fed a stray cat cat food :'( and pet it please don't report me to PETA now. *sobs* I didn't mean to come off as a braggart, sorry if I did. I do need attention though ... kinda like how Gein needed attention!
Cept when I deal with demented animals like you I tend to pwn some n00b ass with pro 1337 logic.
@goarmy979 You really shouldn't emoroider the US Army Logo; Cause the military is made of real men. And real men don't fire at things that never harmed them. -.- Hooah.
@ThomasWinkworth My wife was bitten by a squirrel last year. I've been feeding them all my life, and never had this happen. But I guess she was unlucky. Here in Iowa, at least, it is extremely rare for squirrels to get rabies.
@FaceEatenByMonkey That sounds really bad. To me anyway, it probably isn't bad at all. I think squirrels have gained quite a bad reputation, in the UK anyway, due to the London plague a few hundred years back. My nana used to always tell me to stay away from any small rodent, whether it be a rat or a squirrel or even the little harvest mouse.
@ThomasWinkworth I always hate hearing stories about non-native species. While I'm from the US, I lived in Australia for a while, where introduced species - e.g. rabbit, cane toad, the common cat, etc. - have wrecked havoc with the native wildlife. I've also followed the stories about squirrels (and the American crayfish) in the U.K. The Eastern Grey is wiping out the native red squirrel in the U.K. Unfortunately, the U.K. doesn't have as many hunters or means of removing them permanently.
AWE!!! My yard squirrels dart away when I enter the yard, but in the parks in NYC, I hand-feed the little buggers, and I am sure they would let me pet them if I tried!
How nice for the squirrel! :) You're my hero. I love squirrels and wildlife, it's great that you aren't feeding him garbage or junk food. That's one happy squirrel, and why not! :) Thanks for making my day!
Really sweet. My sister had one that would scramble into the house when she opened her back door after work, nibbling handouts while she cooked dinner. I brought over pistachios once and made an instant friend. The little bugger would sometimes steal lettuce form my salad and perch on my shoulder to eat it.
@hjones1 As long as you don't fire. In my and most states it's against the law to kill or injure wildlife. Normal people would never "prefer" injuring living things.
It's easy to shoot, any redneck can do it. Much harder to do what I do. I doubt you could.
@armadilloze i wanna try to pet 1 but everytime i get and it starts eating and i go 2 pet it scratches me cauze my bro or some1 opens the door and scares the sht out of it >.<
@armadilloze I like your post. It's quite interesting to see. I've been feeding neighborhood squirrels - both Fox and Eastern Greys - since I was kid. (I'm now in my late 30s). I introduced my wife to the habit, and she was actually bitten!!! Not that I need to tell you or anyone this, but wild animals - even squirrels - are just that: wild. They are unpredictable. I'd love to be able to pet one, but I'll be happy with simply feeding them. :)
@armadilloze While I like you post, I disagree a bit. It's not easy to shoot something living, and not "any redneck can do it." I've spent the majority of my life hunting. Guns don't aim and shoot themselves. Hunting and marksmanship take skill, and taking the life of a living creature - even for food - is something that not everyone can do - hence processed meat that everyone buys. It's not against the law to kill wildlife. It's against the law to do so without a license and out of season.
@armadilloze Squirrel tastes good, it's a lot like rabbit. Just because there's one idiot who shoots squirrels for fun doesn't mean everyone who shoots squirrels is a redneck, that's prejudice smart guy. And it isn't illegal to kill wildlife in most states, it's called hunting. And as for "normal" people would never prefer injuring living things, that's correct, that's why when I hunt I aim to kill...... now try not to sound like such a pompous tool when you reply to this.
@LukeRech So is this fun for you? Do you get gratification from it? Have you ever shot a dog or a cat for fun? What if you miss and just wound? Does that excite you too?
@armadilloze Are you retarded? I said hunting, no one in their right mind would shoot a dog or cat, most cats and dogs are domesticated. Squirrels aren't usually domesticated. And yes I do get gratification from hunting, especially when I get a nice buck, I bow hunt and I harvest what I kill. And practice gives me the skill to make a fatal shot, I have never left the forest knowing I shot an animal and couldn't find it.
@armadilloze The majority of states also have a law indicating that squirrels are vermin and you can legally kill them on your property as long it is not in violation of other laws like handling a firearm in a residential area or the like. That law is the major reason the "Squirrel launcher" videos are so popular and still legal.
@crashkun Dunno about that. In Texas, only a licensed pest control company or the city or state animal control officers can kill or trap ANY wildlife.
The squirrel launchers are simply sicko animal torturers who will go on to bigger crimes. Almost all serial killers started with animals. Tell a girl you do that and see if you get a date, tough guy. Or maybe you're not interested in girls?
@armadilloze fairly brave of you to take a verbally abusive tactic to show your kind nature for animals. I was simply stating what i know to be true. If your state requires more restraint in handling small animals i might reflect more on what that says about the populace and how they are quick to lash out even in the comments of a video. Perhaps you should spend your efforts on better and proper things like trying to better the status of said animals instead of verbally attacking someone.

i know this trick; feed it and, while its busy eating, pet it, so that its too occupied to bite. Otherwise it will be on a biting spree everytime you touch it. I had a wild squirrel and chipmunk at home. The chipmunk was more wild and used to bite all the time.
that squirrel's not afraid of anything! the squirrels here in Los Angeles that come in my backyard trip out even if I flinch. I can never pet them! actually... I'm scared they'll bite to be honest.
i dont think you should touch a squirrel at all , just feed and uve done enough. they dont like it clearly, they dont know its affection, they will feel frightened
@Doggorunning They will accidentally nibble on your fingers sometimes until they figure out where the nuts are. They can't see where they're eating, so they have to learn.
See comments below. Ply them with food, basically. Takes a while for them to get used to you being around so be prepared to spend a lot of time. Now (Fall) is the best time because they are on the ground a lot and very active.
There's a lot of difference between squirrels. Some will come to you pretty quick, some may never.
It takes time and the squirrel has got to come to you. I have two wild squirrels that I hand feed. You can pet them and give them a bit of a scratch but NEVER grab one or attempt to pick one up. Everything has to be on thier terms or you might get a nip.
if I was that squirrel i'd be saying, "Bitch stop touching me so I can eat in peace!" LOL or " When I finish eating this u better get ur hand off a me b/c im gonna bite."
Takes weeks to months of almost daily contact. Some will eat from your hand right away, others take a while. Some will let you scratch their belly while eating from your hand, then it's on from there.
exactly how do u get a wild squirrel to like me. we got tons of them all over the place. one of them always comes to our house for nuts. but i cant even et close to him
Kenny - takes a lot of patience and time nearby so they get used to you. Most people start by tossing them nuts nearby, then toss them closer and closer. Fall is the best time since they are on the ground more. See my video "First Time." There is a wide variance in behavior, so some will come up to you much sooner.
very cool

@ThomasWinkworth My wife was bitten by a squirrel last year. I've been feeding them all my life, and never had this happen. But I guess she was unlucky. Here in Iowa, at least, it is extremely rare for squirrels to get rabies.
FaceEatenByMonkey 1 year ago
@FaceEatenByMonkey That sounds really bad. To me anyway, it probably isn't bad at all. I think squirrels have gained quite a bad reputation, in the UK anyway, due to the London plague a few hundred years back. My nana used to always tell me to stay away from any small rodent, whether it be a rat or a squirrel or even the little harvest mouse.
ThomasWinkworth 1 year ago
@ThomasWinkworth I always hate hearing stories about non-native species. While I'm from the US, I lived in Australia for a while, where introduced species - e.g. rabbit, cane toad, the common cat, etc. - have wrecked havoc with the native wildlife. I've also followed the stories about squirrels (and the American crayfish) in the U.K. The Eastern Grey is wiping out the native red squirrel in the U.K. Unfortunately, the U.K. doesn't have as many hunters or means of removing them permanently.

Really sweet. My sister had one that would scramble into the house when she opened her back door after work, nibbling handouts while she cooked dinner.

@hjones1 As long as you don't fire. In my and most states it's against the law to kill or injure wildlife. Normal people would never "prefer" injuring living things.
It's easy to shoot, any redneck can do it. Much harder to do what I do. I doubt you could.

@armadilloze I like your post. It's quite interesting to see. I've been feeding neighborhood squirrels - both Fox and Eastern Greys - since I was kid. (I'm now in my late 30s). I introduced my wife to the habit, and she was actually bitten!!! Not that I need to tell you or anyone this, but wild animals - even squirrels - are just that: wild. They are unpredictable. I'd love to be able to pet one, but I'll be happy with simply feeding them. :)
FaceEatenByMonkey 1 year ago
@armadilloze While I like you post, I disagree a bit. It's not easy to shoot something living, and not "any redneck can do it." I've spent the majority of my life hunting. Guns don't aim and shoot themselves. Hunting and marksmanship take skill, and taking the life of a living creature - even for food - is something that not everyone can do - hence processed meat that everyone buys. It's not against the law to kill wildlife. It's against the law to do so without a license and out of season.

@armadilloze Squirrel tastes good, it's a lot like rabbit. Just because there's one idiot who shoots squirrels for fun doesn't mean everyone who shoots squirrels is a redneck, that's prejudice smart guy. And it isn't illegal to kill wildlife in most states, it's called hunting. And as for "normal" people would never prefer injuring living things, that's correct, that's why when I hunt I aim to kill...... now try not to sound like such a pompous tool when you reply to this.

@LukeRech So is this fun for you? Do you get gratification from it? Have you ever shot a dog or a cat for fun? What if you miss and just wound? Does that excite you too?
armadilloze 9 months ago
@armadilloze Are you retarded? I said hunting, no one in their right mind would shoot a dog or cat, most cats and dogs are domesticated. Squirrels aren't usually domesticated. And yes I do get gratification from hunting, especially when I get a nice buck, I bow hunt and I harvest what I kill. And practice gives me the skill to make a fatal shot, I have never left the forest knowing I shot an animal and couldn't find it.

@armadilloze How did you know it wasn't rabid, besides the crazy foaming. Did you just decide to take chances?
ModifiedToKill 8 months ago
@armadilloze The majority of states also have a law indicating that squirrels are vermin and you can legally kill them on your property as long it is not in violation of other laws like handling a firearm in a residential area or the like. That law is the major reason the "Squirrel launcher" videos are so popular and still legal.
crashkun 8 months ago
@crashkun Dunno about that. In Texas, only a licensed pest control company or the city or state animal control officers can kill or trap ANY wildlife.
The squirrel launchers are simply sicko animal torturers who will go on to bigger crimes. Almost all serial killers started with animals. Tell a girl you do that and see if you get a date, tough guy. Or maybe you're not interested in girls?
armadilloze 8 months ago
@armadilloze fairly brave of you to take a verbally abusive tactic to show your kind nature for animals. I was simply stating what i know to be true. If your state requires more restraint in handling small animals i might reflect more on what that says about the populace and how they are quick to lash out even in the comments of a video. Perhaps you should spend your efforts on better and proper things like trying to better the status of said animals instead of verbally attacking someone.

i know this trick; feed it and, while its busy eating, pet it, so that its too occupied to bite. Otherwise it will be on a biting spree everytime you touch it. I had a wild squirrel and chipmunk at home. The chipmunk was more wild and used to bite all the time.

starshock01 2 years ago
See comments below. Ply them with food, basically. Takes a while for them to get used to you being around so be prepared to spend a lot of time. Now (Fall) is the best time because they are on the ground a lot and very active.
There's a lot of difference between squirrels. Some will come to you pretty quick, some may never.
armadilloze 2 years ago
@TheRealReasonForDP
It takes time and the squirrel has got to come to you. I have two wild squirrels that I hand feed. You can pet them and give them a bit of a scratch but NEVER grab one or attempt to pick one up. Everything has to be on thier terms or you might get a nip.

KennyMccormick01 2 years ago
Kenny - takes a lot of patience and time nearby so they get used to you. Most people start by tossing them nuts nearby, then toss them closer and closer. Fall is the best time since they are on the ground more. See my video "First Time." There is a wide variance in behavior, so some will come up to you much sooner.
