We found our pet Squirrel, who we named Whirligig, on the ground after he had fallen out of his Squirrel nest. He was such a tiny baby Squirrel that he fit into the palm of your hand. We fed our pet Squirrel with an eye dropper until he could feed himself. Animal Planet recently compiled a top ten list of the smartest animals on the planet, and the squirrel was on the list at #07. A link is provided below to see the complete list. Thanks for watching our Pet Squirrel video. It is legal to have a pet squirrel in the State in which we live. Check your own States wildlife laws to determine if it legal to have a pet squirrel. Pet squirrels make wonderful and entertaining members of the family. There is a great website for everything you need to know about having a pet squirrel........ http://thesquirrelboard.com/ ....Check out The Squirrel Board. Pet Squirrel.

  • Where do you get a pet squirrel??? Please tell me please!!!!

  • @animalvidsforyou - Whirligig fell to the ground from his nest in a backyard tree. We fed and nurtured him and then decided to keep him as a pet. He is very much in tune with all the goings on around the house and loves attention. I do not know how you would acquire a pet squirrel otherwise. It is not legal in all states to have a pet squirrel, so check your states wildlife codes. You might also consider checking out the website - thesquirrelboarddotcom. Good Luck!

  • Fun pets. Sharp teeth and claws. My pet squirrel Nutella is very playful and sociable. Don't mess with her nuts though.

  • @Nutellasquirrel - you are so right on all accounts!

  • any advice i found a baby squirrel on the sidwalk he keep on going into the road and was abaded by his mom so now i have him he hasent opeaned his eyes yet but i am bodle feeding him atm when should i stope and what should i feed him?

  • @Kole208 - Good for you for rescuing the baby squirrel. You may want to consider finding a squirrel rescue center or wildlife rehab in your area. These folks are uniquely qualified and knowledgeable about feeding and habitat. If you really want to raise your rescued squirrel yourself, and that is fine too if you are dedicated, you should check out the website - thesquirrelboard (dot com) - you will find everything you need to know about caring for your squirrel there. Hope that helps good luck!

  • I use to have a pet squirrel, I named him crash, cause my dad worked for a tree company, and one day he cut a tree down and Crash came crashing down in the tree. This was like in third grade when i got him, I took him in and nursed him back to health with oatmeal water and goat milk. Sadly he just passed away last month :'( god i miss him so much :'(
