My little man is about a year old. He was found on the ground after a hurricane. His eyes were closed and he had no hair. He was raised with dogs and cats on a bottle. He now lives with me. He has lived with me for just under a year. He is just over a year old. He has always been well behaved. Very mannered animal. He listened when I said no. He listened when told to go home(his cage). Out of no where he has decided to act absolutely nuts when let out. He scratches and even nibbles if he doesn’t get his way. I’m confused. I know this is probably more typical squirrel behavior, but where did it come from? Why is it all of a sudden? He has no natural fear of other creatures. I fear he can’t be released, but this new behavior frightens me a little bit. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? If there something I can do to calm him.
He is used to getting his nails trimmed and even an occasion sink bath. He has always been good during these things and suddenly he’s not himself.
