Hi all, I am new to this board and I have read quite a bit. I am glad to have found this site. Most sites are no help at all, in fact some even make you feel like a criminal for having a squirrel in the first place. My lil boy came to me by way of a friend who nursed and weaned him before she gave him to me. Everything was going fine until a few days ago when out of the blue he just went crazy. We had had him about a week at that point. I have no idea exactly how old he is but he was just weaned when we were given him. I had a squirrel a few years ago and he was the most awesome little guy ever...so I was thinking this little guy would be like him too. I had no idea they would bite and let me tell you something he tore both me and my son up BAD! I still have bruises and bite marks from the first attack. He was biting so hard I thought he got stuck on my wrist bone. I also noticed his penis was a lot longer than it normally is and he had peed (I think it was pee) all over everything while he was still attached to my arm (feet were also holding on to me. I came to the conclusion that perhaps he smelled a difference in me maybe a hormonal thing...I am at a loss here. I read on here that they take to one person..Spidey, my first squirrel loved all of us. He did favor me more but he was a sweet snuggle buddy to my husband, my young son and anyone that came to visit I don't remember him ever being nasty. This squirrel I have now just straight up ran at me and attacked me, he got my son a few times, so fast and vicious we thought he was just playing. He wasn't playing. 2 days he lunged and barked at me when I walked by. My son had him out last night and brought him into my bedroom, he was his normal happy self until I rubbed his back (sort of like when you itch a cat at the base of the tail) he seemed to love it for about 3 seconds then he started lunging and chattering his teeth, tail flicking he even was making the "call" but only when my son poked his head around the corner. So, does he not like me or my son? Did I rub him wrong to cause this? Why is he attacking us? Should I begin steps to release or is there still hope he can be a pet? What do I do at this point?
