Depending on where you live, it may be illegal. It is illegal in many places to keep wildlife as pets (in the US, you might be allowed to nurse an injured animal back to health with the ultimate goal of reintroducing it back into the wild... contact your local wildlife department for details).

If you'd like to know more about this, there was a recent article in National Geographic about it.
