he tried to get me a flying squirrel when i was a kid. never happened. boy was i disappointed.
i settle for feeding the pair of grey squirrels that live in my tree. they are pretty tame. i named them after my da's pets, mickey and nicky.

i sit on my porch, have coffee, and feed them peanuts. that's plenty for me.
why do ppl feel like they have to own wild animals?
hell, i barely feel like i own my pets. i mean, they are mine to take care of. and the eggs my chickens lay are mine to sell.
but snatching wild animals and keeping them in the house. wtf?
