I don't think you to try keeping it as a pet. I remember the sp-called pet grey squirrels that we raised from babies. About a year later the male was sunning on my brother forearm when it got up and proceed to nail him through the web of his hand between the thumb and first finger. My brother didn't kill him but nearly did before he toss him into a cage and took off. He threw the squirrel and cage both out without letting the squirrel out. I had to find where threw he out the cage so I could at least let the squirrel out in to the wild.
