You can train a flying squirrel into being a house pet where it is given the mobility to move around the house jumping from curtains and other house furniture or as person-to-person pets. As a person-to-person pet you gain more control of the squirrel and its trained to only jump from person to person and in and out of pockets.
Very Interesting!
Is there any information on how to accomplish this?
Hi Iain yes actually and we will be posting that this week 😊
I'd like to learn more about person to person training also. Thanks!
Thank you Iain and Jules for your interest in training for the flying squirrel.
Since flying comes natural to the flying squirrel this training should come easy. Place the squirrel on a high place, top of a door or top of a tall cage, and coax him to jump into your hand with food. Keep the distance short at first then gradually lengthen the distance. Once you have taught them this trick you can move to a person with the same technique.
Good luck and let me know how it goes :-)
