Hi All...
Someone just walked into the shop with a "pet" black squirrel. 3 months old as
a lone baby.
It was a reluctant rescue apparently. The squirrel just warmed up to him and stuck with him.
I was a little taken aback at first when the guy said, "hey.. wanna see my pe
squirrel?" you know.. and he was reaching for his pants. But the baby was nestling just fine in the connected open-ended pockets of his hoodie.
I guess these days you don't know what to expect from people,eh?
Of course, all our pet species were once reluctant rescues, eh?
Squirrels seem cool, but I think you'd get the same cuteness & lithe bodies from a pet rat. . . but the rat is more trainable to be comfortable being handled. .
