First of all, you don't catch wild animals and keep them for pets. It is illegal.
Second, if you live in the US, it may be illegal in your state to keep a squirrell even if it was not caught in the wild.
Research your state laws, and if squirrels are legal to keep, then research the proper way to feed and house a squirrel. Then research breeders.

I wont tell you how to catch one...but you'd better have some bandaids, gauze pads, neosporin and varous other items on hand for when you do...It will tear you to shreds, so be prepared
I bottle fed a litter of three after their mother diapappered and they were all found at the base of a tree, eyes not even opened yet...a cat had already killed one
I raised them like my own, bottle fed every 2 hours and stimluated them to go the bathroom etc...when they hit adulthood they turned on me and and attacked my family members.. A wild animal is meant to be in the wild
I had to have stitches on my thumb.
If sugar gliders are legal in your state, then get one of those instead, they are even cuter and much friendlier
Good luck , you crazy nut :P

You don't want one for a pet... they have razor sharp teeth. Experience this year is that they chewed thru metal wire.
If you MUST have one for a pet, just find a nest and then after the babies are born, kill the mother.
How about go and adopt a small dog from the SPCA? A lot easier to care for.

Squirrels do not make good pets. Wild animals are much happier in the wild. Why not put out a feeder to attract them into your yard? Over time it may get used to you and take nuts and such from your hand, but please don't subject a wild animal to captivity. It's cruel and illegal unless you are licensed to keep wild animals.

this is a joke right?
those are wild animals and it is against the law to capture and house one. they are not domestic animals and they carry all sorts of germs and deseace! plus it is not fair to the animal!!
it is also illegal and against DNR codes
