Where do You Get Baby Squirrels?

I'm getting a squirrel for a pet (YES I AM DON'T TELL ME NOT TO AGAIN) and I want to (and have to) raise it from a baby. I'm willing to go up in the tree if neccesary, but I would rather not. I'm afraid of heights.Where do You Get Baby Squirrels?
It is illegal but it sounds as if you have made up your mind to get a squirrel anyway. It would be dangerous to climb into a tree to get a baby squirrel even if you werent afraid of heights. Your best bet is a small animal trap. You can find them at your local feed and seed store (also called a cooperative), or at a store like Tractor Supply. It is built in such a way that the squirrel enters at one end and presses a lever and the door closes trapping the animal. You can use most any type seed to lure in a baby squirrel. They like sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and corn. You will need a very small trap so the squirrel cant fit through the cage gaps to escape. Place the trap near the base of a tree where you see squirrels playing. They are curious and will investigate shortly after you leave. Be sure to check the cage frequently in hot weather so the squirrel doesnt suffer from heat problems or lack of water.Where do You Get Baby Squirrels?
You should NEVER take and animal out of the wild and try to raise it.





However, there may be some tame squirrels out there. Check with your local veterinarian to see if:


a) any reputable breeder in your area is selling baby squirrels


b) if the vet knows how to take care of a squirrel (so that they can teach you and also help you if you have a problem)
If you are trying this in the UK you will be breaking the law!





Simple as that!





The best way to befriend squirrels is to feed them! They will quickly lose all fear of you, allowing you (on payment of scran) to handle them.





When my son was a baby, we lived in an area rich in Red Squirrels. They used to play happily around the boy in his bouncer......... an idyll!
Don't forget to mention your pet taken from the wild to your doctor when you're dying from tularemia or some other such illness.





Wild things are best left that way, for them *and* for you.
Squirrels belong in the woods. They are independent animals. Not your furry companions. Besides they HATE people. They run away if your get so close as of 20 feet distance.
squirrels are a waste...unicorns are better and easier to find...just ask my homeskillet darci whos lathered in gravy!! teehee =D
you don't get them, you leave them in the wild where they belong!!!!!!!!! Don't disturb mother nature, or she will disturb YOU!
IILLEGAL.
