To buy a squirrel one must deal with an exotic pet dealer...
Courtesy of Squirrel Refuge:
"It’s rare for most species of squirrel to breed in captivity. Your Prairie Dog was very likely vacuumed out of his natal nest, literally riped from its mother’s bosom and torn from the life it would have had in the wild. For every squirrel or prairie dog that lands in the hands of an exotic pet dealer, countless others lost their lives in the collection, transport and sale process. Many do not find themselves in good homes or prove to be more work than their owner anticipated.
The worst fate possible for one of these is to be unloved and/or cast out in the wild. Remember for these pets, release in the wild doesn’t make them free - it makes them dead! Please contact Squirrel Refuge if you need to re-home your pet for ANY reason."
Squirrel Refuge?! Well here is the site for anyone dealing with a...um, squirrel as pet related issue.
