Most squirrel species are not endangered, and it is legal to keep them. They do not, however, make good pets. They need huge areas to excercise in or they develop behavioral disorders. They pee and poop on everything, can chew threw most materials, and can inflict severe bites. It doesn't matter how sweet and loving that little baby you've hand raised seems, he/she WILL change--have no doubt! Release humanely when the time is right.
