Cartels story??
There are many markets in this country and they sell everything from clothes to exotic animals. Many animals you cant ever find in other countries. But the laws here are lax on what you can and cant own.....:flash3
To speed it up, Cartel was a infant, tied by his neck with a rope in a series of cages with many different infant squirrels and sugar gliders.:nono BELIEVE me when I say it would make any animal lover PISSED to see how the animals in these sort of markets are treated.:rock1 We know buying from these people is NOT the answer. And I dont recommend it. :oldwise Buts it was my choice and I just cant stand to see any animals treated badly. Infant or not. I also been told if they are not taken then they will be eaten, killed or set free after a while ( death :hissyfit sentence ). So Cartel came home with us. About 5 weeks old. And you can tell he was shaken up. I dont want him to be alone.:dono I plan on getting a female of the same breed in a week or two after HE settles in. Hes been home with us about 4 days. Very very clean home and we allow him to be free and roam. Hes only seemed brave enough to roam around after a full stomach. And thats just to run up to us.... poop... and run off :thinking and try n climb something or back to his bed. He is still young and a cutie. We are "told" hes a Myanmar ( burma ) stripped squirrel with white tipped ears. To me ( american ) id say he looks more like a baby chipmunk. Thanks for creating a squirrel lovers community and forum and for the replys to my question. Its been a great place to find info and read up on experiences of other squirrel owners.
Stay tuned for pics of Cartel and hopefully updates with a girlfriend for him.:alright.gif
