- 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 squirrels are sooooo ADORABLE...❤️❤️
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've done this. They are very avid cuddlers when you hey really close.
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.
Peanuts are not good for them
I wanna befriend squirrel that keeps entering my house and scurrying out
I had one that was in my room and lived with us.😀
Me two
I’m actually trying to be a squirrels friend in the morning are you repaired everything the squirrel came and run away:(
My squirrel keep biting me

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.
aren't they fun - i want to teach them to do dozens of tricks - teamwork tricks too;
they can talk - and they can listen;
toads are really cool too;
aloha;
This is similar to how we became friends with a local crow couple. They've never eaten out of our hands, but they come when we call and know that we're going to give them food every day. They even trust us with their babies. In our new house, I'm going to try to become friends with the squirrels after we've turned our paved back lot into a proper yard/garden. But, even without that, I did one day get a squirrel to come onto my porch, right to my feet, and sit on his back legs and look into my eyes. I gently blew toward him and he sniff sniff sniffed my breath to learn about me.
Aww baby squirrels are extremely cute!! I love how this little dude sits on the edge of the plate :)
You are the Disney princess my friends and I aspire to be.
Haha! Guess it's time to put on my dress and crown 😅
This looks really cool! I just thought of the idea to tame a squirrel today and this looks really cool! Ima sub :DD
Excellent video my dearest friend
Fully watched and stay blessed
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.
Red squirrels are native to Europe, whereas the larger grey squirrel is native to the americas. In the UK the red squirrel is native but unfortunately the grey squirrel was introduced in victorian times - they're a larger species (obviously from texas) hence they're driving the reds to extinction in the uk 😢
@Farlig69 In S.E. Texas we also have Fox Squirrels who often chase the smaller Gray ones. There are a lot of both. In west central Texas there are black Squirrels
Thanks man greatly appreciated
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH
Me:- let make some friends
Squirrel:- get out from my area otherwise I will bite your finger 😂😂
How is it possible you have so few subscribers this video was great
Thanks man, glad you liked it!
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
Sunflower seeds aren’t poisonous for squirrels 🐿 but like a lot of different foods, too much definitely isn’t good, and the sunflower seeds as well as other nuts shouldn’t have any salt/sugars when giving them to any little critters!!
It wasn't the first time i got close either!!!!!!!!! Irl 2 suirrels got less than an inch close to me and then they where like "IS THIS HUMAN!!!???"
I have a Indian Palm Squirrel as a part of our family. These Squirrels are so cute rodents.❤️
You can say I’m a huge squirrel lover same with foxes
We’ll explained and a awesome video🐿
Thank you for your effort💜
I want a squirrel so damn bad hahaha. (Btw u got a new sub)
I can feed the squirell and touch it when feeding but as soon as it done it will just bite me.
Lol 😂
BITE YOU THAT GIVES YOU RABIES OMG
12ahmedf not all squirrels have rabies
Dude what a gold digger 😂😂😂😂
@@Guulsnapsnature not all have it
This is awesome I am gonna try this at my house, how long would say it took you to gain their trust?
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...
thx for the tip
Nice
Sweet.
Well this a good thing to do instead of gaming lol
THIS PLAYS BETTER IN X1.5 SPEED
Thanks!
theres so many squirrels in the alley behind my house i feel like they are plotting to take me out, gonna use this to befriend some of them
What do you suggest I feed them?
Ok I need my squirrel to stop squeaking so much when I lift it. Any recommendations?
OmL i love squirrels
Hello, I have a squirrel tamed and he will eat from my hand and stuff. I have had him tamed for like a year, but now I want to get him on a healthier diet, I recently learned that peanuts are bad for squirrels, but he doesn’t like anything else, any help.... thx in advance
Do you need a cage?? I know, dumb question
🥰🥰🥰
Me:(Just Grabbing Them)
Well that's another strategy I guess.😬
If you want rabies then that is a great strategy.
John Bruner squirrels usually don’t tend to have rabies but in rare cases they do
@@booger0895 they dont have rabies its rare so go learn then talk
Your comment makes less sense than the one you replied to.
Perhaps you would stand to benefit by enrolling yourself into a grammar course at an accredited elementary school.
My parents hated scurries and so I tried to show them that they aren't that bad then when I gave up a couple months later my dog killed a a mother squirrel that had a baby in its mouth so I had no choicebut to rescue it my parents figured out that swirls weren't so bad and the baby squirrelgot released back in the wild when it was grown
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!! 😊
does this still work in 2022?
😮
These buggers found a way to my attic and have been running mad through out the night.. I don't know how to get rid of them.
You befriend them!😊
Artview i want to but i am afraid of the disease it might have.. these little buggers dont run away from me ,, its the other way around 😐
@@BlackRa1n58 If they're carrying diseases then it's probably best to let them be.
Why do you say that
Please make then as your friends not everyone gets this chance 🙏🙏
I've trained many many squirrels by a pellet through their chest. They can't do any more damage to my house or trees.
Wow these squirrels look alot different there than here in America (illinois). Squirrels here are bigger and Browner and dont have as much hair on their ears. Where are these squirrels from?
Interesting that they seem to be so different. These are swedish squirrels!
It’s because they are red squirrels. There are probably a lot of different breeds where you live but the ones you described sound like either fox squirrels or grey squirrels.
It’s not a matter that you are taming the rodent , it’s a matter of the rodent taming you!
I want to get a secret pet and have been checking all sorts of animals
And artview how do we know that squirrels have diseases
When I leave food out for the squirrels, all the birds eat it. What do I do?
I found a video on here for a diy squirrel feeder.
I want to make a friend with a squirrel that I named “chuck” he or she it’s always up in my tree
I rescued a squirrel, but because I had to work I had my husband feed her and I wlould feed her at night, now she's older she used to let me put my hands in her cage to clean and fix her bed now she does a grunting noise, and tries to bite and scratch me why??
My uncle died from doing something like this
There are two black squirrels in my backyard and many chipmunks, I can hand feed the chipmunks but not the squirrels yet but the two squirrels come up to my hand with a peanut in it some time but then If I even breathe to hard they run away without even taking my peanut :(
Please make a video on how do squirrels act when they see humans
i watch this because my cat literally caught a wild squirrel just now so yea why not tame the squirrel :D
I must 🙏🏻 for got
Well more like THEY got close to me!!
Your local squirrels are so adorable!
Yeah they're cute!😀
What are the main instructions
Be patient, do slow progress, feed them at a distance first, then move closer etc.
@@artview7929 thanks
Ok... it does not seem too long for me...
I want one so I can keep in a cage in feed it
0:50 You can frighten a wild rabbit to death, but not a squirrel.
I tamed one ya I have a pet squirrel
I'm here because theres a squirrel in my basement and I want to pick it up and bring it outside cause it wont go in the trap lol also it's a harmless trap I would never hurt a squirrel
If I scare a sqUirrel I will get Rabies
Squirrels don't usually carry rabies, if they do they die before spreading it.
Asian Jesus but do they still bite?
I was gonna do this then I realised the world is in lockdown -
It looks like a robot
I had a baby squirrel unfortunately he died :(
I got about 30 of them in my backyard if anyone wants one..lol.. 🐿 🥜
They just want food
First
Haha!
I want a squirrel badly but my nana would kick my butt I'd I let squirrel in her house
damn this expired. now i cant tame squirrels anymore
it feels like youre swedish
If this works I could just kiss you
Sonia Silvestre ew
LOL
why does it say 2020
I'm following the guidelines of manuals, books, reports etc. So if these techniques stop working or something new about it comes out I'll leave it at the year it stopped working.
@@artview7929 ohh ok
So basically body language.
Robo, robo, robo! WTF is this?
People, you should NOT be taming squirrels let alone take them into your house. THEY ARE NOT HOUSEHOLD PETS
Taming is ok, depending on the situation. Taking them into your house or make them into pets is nothing I recommend. This video (and my channel) is mainly about getting closer to them to take better photos, not having them as pets.
@Author, who told you that small animals can be scared so bad they die by simply trying to be near them of befriend them?? No offence meant but that is a stupid thing to promote. If that was true (simply getting close etc. scares them to death) there would be no small animals. The larger predators would have scared them all to death. (*Shaking head* in bewilderment)
There are animals that play dead as a defence mechanism such as Possums but they don't actually die from fear. If you meant scaring them so bad they have a heart attack, yes that can happen but very rare and not from simply being around them. You would literally have to be trying to kill them/chasing them etc.to elevate their heart rate extremely high for an extended period.... *Sigh* Don't spread false information like this. It causes uneducated idiots and fools to freak out. LoL.
Disease
U lied it says 2020 when it was made in 2019
So get on with it already! Blah blah blah....
