Squirrels aren’t the best of pets, and in most states, you can’t legally have them. Additionally, squirrels need a lot of care along with particular diets so that they remain healthy. Squirrels can also become quite possessive over the person they bond with and can even attack other persons who try to get near to their person. This is quite dangerous since they have long claws that are around a half inch in length. These claws can easily damage your eyes, other parts of the body and even pets. They also don’t typically get along with other types of pets or kids.
