They can get into everything and way too smart to keep them out of anything they wanna get to. Be careful you don't go crazy with it! But they are super adorable
I have a squirrel. DH does landscape and cut down a tree last year with a nest. We ended up having to raise the 5 babies. Only 1 survived, and he is now a pet. He is definitely still a wild animal and I don't think I'd do it over again if I had the choice. But now everyone that finds abandoned baby squirrels tries to give them to us! lol
He has been in Texas for a family function, and his cousin has 3 baby raccoons. After playing with one he wanted to bring one home. I know that they are cute... but the idea of having a raccoon for a pet with the dog and then the baby coming made me LOL. I told him no, but yes, he seriously wanted to keep one.
I worked at a wildlife center for almost 8 years, and can tell you from experience that baby raccoons can be a nightmare! Think 5 week old puppy, plus ADHD, plus claws, plus WILD, plus pees and poops on self, plus massively and destructively curious! Times ten. Get a kitten instead.
