You’re not wrong. We tried to let ours go after 3 years. He climbed a tree in the backyard, got his arse picked by two other squirrels, and ran back in the house.

Tried again to set him free 2 years after that, he wouldn’t come out of his shoe box. He knew he had it made in our house.

My cousin in Mississippi had one. He found it when it was wounded, then took care of it back to health. It became a friend as it lived in his house with his family. It would play and run on their shoulders, and allow them to hold it. It died in his house a few months after perhaps of a disease.

When you see them up close in a domestic setting, it's amazing to see how quickly they are able to twitch and move.

yes and it went berserk in the first self righteous church in the sleepy little town of Pascagoula.

No, but in my old neighborhood there was a tree guy that kept several on his screen porch. I honestly think anything he took down a tree with a nest he would capture them and take them home with him. He was always bringing limbs he cut off trees and sticking them on the porch for them to run around in.
