I am not sure what species he is but by searching he might be a Deppe a Verrigated and least likely a richmond squirrel (haven't seen a picture of these to compare though but they live close.
Actually Ludwig has his own facebook xD
I am checking the threat right now and made one myself to see if I could gather some info. I noticed a lot of great info in the other forums and I am making a mental note to try and see if he can eat avocado. Although he seems attracted to chinese fried rice I am not letting him anywhere near that
Here are some pics of him
the first day:
with my father
On my lap as we were getting to know each other
2 minutes after that
actually I made him a facebook page to keep track of his development and show his pictures to my friends who actually like him. He's very curious and I noticed he loves climbing
Climbing down from the curtains and on the mosquito protecting window
being a daredevil (and scaring the hell out of me)
