Introducing a baby to an adult????

[owenssammy]

Hi everyone.

I have a 2 year old grey squirrel and am currently hand feeding an approximately 9 week old grey squirrel. Has anyone ever introduced a baby to an adult? If so, can they get along or will they fight? They have met through bars and seem ok. I don't want to upset peanut but she isn't being aggressive towards him. I thought she would be but as she seems ok so I thought I would ask.

Thanks :)

This is NEVER to be done...... as the adult squirrel will attack and hurt (if not kill) the smaller squirrel.
Squirrels are solitary animals except for mating season and when they are young siblings.
