I am a newbie to the squirrel world and I am consuming AS MUCH INFO AS I CAN..! My little man is about 7 weeks? He has his bottom teeth, no top teeth, likes to eat pecans about once a day. Now I was thrown Into this.... So I am learning. But my question is this, is it okay that Butters sleeps with me ? He has a bag that so far, don't have funds currently for a proper cage (working on it) we use the said bag as a pap pus. He is very spoiled and goes everywhere with me so the need for a cage hasn't been that big of am issue. I was/am amazed that he took to me and my husband like he has. He acts like we've had him sense a pinkie and he's been a part of our home for only a mere week .
So back to my question. He still doesn't wander away from me and he likes to be in his pap pus and I have it safe aka not going to squish him Is it okay for him to be raised this mixed in the family or without a cage even? When he has had enough outside of cage/pouch he will scamper back to his hot pink fuzzy bag, lol. It's his happy place where he feels safe.
Any my and ALL ideas, thoughts and information wanted please.
THANK YOU!!!!
