[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 309272, member: 1963"] Cute as the baby squirrel might be, try to minimize human contact with him. Years back when I was still raising Maine Coon cats, we found an orphan baby squirrel on the street after a bad windstorm. We took him in and put him with one of the 'girls' who had a litter of kittens. She did a great job raising 'Peanut' but because he was so friendly and adorable, he got very socialized to humans. When we finally tried to get him moved outdoors we had a heckuva time. In fact, he gnawed several holes in several outside walls and ceilings to the house in his attempts to get back inside. You can't EVER let a squirrel loose in the house because they are incredibly destructive. You also can't EVER allow them to become socialized to whatever predators you live with. 'Peanut' was killed in the yard by the same dog that he'd played with indoors [/QUOTE]
