Have you ever held a squirrel before?

they look so cute but they run to fast to catch and holdHave you ever held a squirrel before?
Yes we rescued a squirrel because its mum had been killed, we hand reared her with milk and named her Squidge...she grew up to be so tame and she'd let you handle her, we had her for nearly 7 years but unfortunately 2 years ago she escaped and we never saw her again, presumably a fox got her. It makes me sad to think about her - in the end she got her freedom. She would never have survived had we not rescued her but perhaps she wasn't meant to be so tame. Nature can be so cruel sometimes. I still hope she may return one day but have deep down lost all hope now of seeing her again.Have you ever held a squirrel before?
Wouldn't they gnaw the holy schmidt out of you?
I've held quite a few... then I got bit lol. haven't held one since ;) xx
Yes...my brother had a grey squirrel for a pet...soft but nippy...
Can't say that I have. Have you?
no - they are full of diseases





and as you have pointed out unless you catch a fat, old slow squirrel they are too fast for you





but yes they are cute
Yes, it climbed from a tree and in through the double decker bus window and got stuck.





It scratched the be-jesus outta me. It definately won the fight. Cute and violent.
they bite - hard! my dad picked up an injured one in the garden once and had to have stitches in his hand. they look cute... but they aint!





I volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary when I was younger and they had orphaned baby squirrels - now they really are cute and they dont bite. they drink a hell of alot of milk though
Yes in Washington DC, they come from the White House lawn and they sit in your lap and eat from your hand. Any other parks that squirrels frequent you'll usually find squirrels that are very use to people.
Yes. They are pretty tame in our local park on account that the old dears feed them nuts. So they come on to your lap if you have peanuts.
Nope! But I saw one get clipped by a car on Sunday which wasn't very nice, bless its cotton socks!





They are very cute!!!
Never held a squirrel, but a nice beaver is a good substitute!
yes, my grandmother found a squirrel hit by a car on the side of the road. she stopped and took it to the vet. they saved it but it was paralyzed from the waist down. so she had to keep it and take care of it. that thing lived for a long time. my grandma really cares about animals. so yes, i have held a squirrel and they are cute
heck no...rabies!





I have fed them sunflower seeds. . .that's fun!
nope...
Being a Londoner, get some peanuts and go to St. James' Park, near Buckingham Palace.


You will find the squirrels there are quite tame and will takepeanuts from you and even sit in your arm and eat them if you are patient enough.





Same with Regents Park, but I think those squirrels are a bit more ferocious for some reason.
No but I have a Sugar Glider %26amp; they are comparible to a squirrel.
Yeah, they hurt!
We found a baby squirrel in my front yard. I guess that he had fallen out off the nest. He was so little and cute. So yes I have.
they bite here
no
they also bite
don't try this at home guys. these little buggers have a nasty bite and their claws are like freddie kruegers
No, but I have eaten one before.
never
nope
no, they scare me
no
No and woud'nt want to, they can bite quite bad and have rabies.Don't you know their teeth are like nutcrackers.
no, they're too fast... and i'm too slow and have really bad reflexes... i guess i should have thought about catching squirrels before becoming a total burn out...
No think they bite but they do look sweet
