Why don't people keep squirrels as pets?

Answer 1

People often keep squirrels as pets. You can get them when they are babies and they will grow up to act a lot like a ferret. They have the hardest time being house-broken, so many are released outside when they become close to full grown.

Answer 2

Squirrels and other wild animals make lousy pets for numerous reasons. In many states it's illegal to keep them as pets, some states require licenses, and in other states people are required to have wildlife rehabilitator training.
