No Young animals may seem tame but may become very aggressive and unpredictable as they get older. Captivity is not natural and is a constant stress to a wild animal.
Wild animals carry many diseases that can be very harmful to people.
Wild animals need to be examined by a veterinarian that has special knowledge and training in wildlife medicine. A wild animal lives in natural environments and requires definite periods of conditioning and learning in the presence of its parents and peers. It has certain inborn behavior patterns and also requires learned behavior to survive in competitive natural environments. It is virtually impossible for a wild animal to adapt to traditional household living. It is also impossible for pet owners to influence behavior patterns of wild animals or to predict when wild and often destructive behavior will occur.
