HOW TO TAME A SQUIRREL - 2020

How to make friends with squirrels and how to tame a squirrel/how to catch a squirrel.
This is the story of how I tamed a squirrel baby and made it my pet squirrel. They were hanging out in some trees in a garden nearby so I took the opportunity to become friends with the squirrels. Domestication of squirrels needs much respect for the animal. Don't scare it or else it might get hurt (just from fear). Squirrel taming can be tricky but the key is to be patient.

Domestication of squirrels can make it both easier or harder. When there are many squirrels you can find the one that's most friendly and try to tame it so the other squirrels learn that you're harmless.

When I was taming a squirrel I tried my best to make sure it wasn't scared. No animals were harmed!

Those are babay juvvie squirrels, they are VERY trusting. The Mom isnt around, then theyre orphans and usually need fostering or are very vulnerable to dying as they dont have the skills yet to protect themselves because Mom is gone. Youre lucky they survived so that you could befriend them. I raised two juvvies and being a squirrel Mom is one of the best things Ive ever experienced

I have 3 squirrel friends. Lil’bo, he didn’t come out of mama right. He’s very bo-legged. Mama is my favorite squirrel. She eats out of my hand. Auntie is my 3rd squirrel. She also eats out of my hand. When I’m gardening they climb on me. I keep a peanut in my pocket of my sweater. Lil’bo has made that connection and heads straight for my pockets to find his treat. They don’t bother my veggie garden. I keep water out for all the wildlife. They aren’t thirsty enough to eat my veggies.

I've been taming one squirrel for last 3 weeks or so. It was incredibly cautious to begin with. I left a small table about two meters from my back door where I'd put the nuts on. Took maybe a week for it to recognise it as a food source. I then moved the table closer and closer to my door, each time it notcied something was different, until it was basically next to my door. The door has large glass panels, so I would just sit there and watch it feed and let it get use to my presence. I then started opening the door slightly and presented a spoon with some peanut better on. It would run off everytime, until about 4 days of trying I had it feeding, but would still run off at the slightest movement I done. It then started coming down every morning around 8:30 looking for the peanut butter and I would present it each time. Now it sits there waiting for me and I can just open the door without it running away and can feed it. However, when I try giving a nut, it still runs away, but I'm getting closer! It's such a cool experience.

How is it possible you have so few subscribers this video was great

[airtechmech]

Great story. I have been trying to do that myself. I offer peanuts but they wait until I leave before eating them. Some of them, especially the Grey squirrels, seem interested and look at me like they want to come closer but are still too afraid. The squirrel in your video is a completely different color from those I've seen in Texas. I have Fox and Grey squirrels and in the west central part of Texas there are Rock squirrels which are black. One of these days I'll have one come close.

I can feed the squirell and touch it when feeding but as soon as it done it will just bite me.

I read somewhere that sunflower seeds are poisonous for squirrels but your guys seem to be doing just fine and I absolutely love this video so thank you very much. I give my squirrels organic Brazil nuts and I can't wait for the day when they trust me to feed them by hand

When I was at school me and my friend used to try and knock conkers off the tree with our school bags, and a few squirrels started dropping conkers at us lol

[poojathakur]

Me:- let make some friends

Squirrel:- get out from my area otherwise I will bite your finger 😂😂

Just want to thank you for the way this video ended.."and one day they may approach you" i meeded that. I loose faith ao easily. Ive been feeding mine for two years but ive only hand fed greys by sticking my hand underneath the garage door. Ive tried other ways but they havent worked. Yet...

[wildflowerhomeschool]

It wasn't the first time i got close Irl 2 suirrels got less than an inch close to me and then they where like "IS THIS HUMAN!!!???"

Cute video, and I know it’s older but for future reference you should definitely be careful when it comes squirrels 🐿 and all other wild little fur babies because sometimes they get too used to humans, and will have no fear, they will start just going up to everyone while thinking that they will be as kind/loving towards them as you are. Unfortunately not everyone likes squirrels 🐿 or other little rodents and they won’t be so nice, some people can be really cruel and want to hurt them. All Wild animals should always have a little fear from humans and other animals that can easily hurt/kill them. Great video though, thanks for sharing!! 😊

A blind squirrel comes to my yard and eats the seed falling from the feeder. The other squrrel get mist of the feed. If I approach the blind one it runs away. I would like to help it. Any suggestions?
