I’ve had friendly squirrels in places I’ve lived before, I really like it. They’re like a pet you don’t have to be responsible for, just offer them some unsalted peanuts. They LOVE those.
Are there any issues with having pet squirrels? Not that I’d want to adopt one for the sake of it, but if you have to rescue one like OP is there any issue with just adopting it as a pet?
Like someone else noted, they tend to go bonkers when they are mature enough and you have to let them outside. They have extremely sharp teeth that can cut to the bone and can be destructive. But if you rehab one they often visit.
