It's ! 😊 Baetril can be very tall when he stands straight up. We've tried to put a ruler next to him to get a measurement, but he immediately moves to look at it. 😅
It has been 0 days since he bit someone. Despite Dad's efforts to wash up and change into old clothes after Sunday morning church, Baetril started sniffing his hand and Dad was deemed an impostor. He bit him a few times in a short period, accompanied by growls and scratches. Mom's attempt to wash up before seeing him later in the day (with about 4 hours in between showering and seeing him) was also thwarted by another attack and chattering. Mind you, in both instances, Baetril jumped on us as normal to be escorted to the kitchen and then escorted back to his room, but once he took the time to sniff the hand that feeds him... ☠️
Squirrels are not good pets for many reasons, and it's illegal to keep them in many areas unless you are licensed to do so. Social media will make it look like squirrels are so sweet, but they are still wild animals regardless of how long they have been inside a house, and their personalities can vary widely just like humans with only a very small percentage being calm and the majority becoming more protective of their area and nasty about it. A healthy squirrel deserves a free life outdoors where it will be much happier.
Baetril is maloccluded and cannot be released.
