This
is Skittles who I've only really had for just about a month now. I
had a very long and extensive search trying to find him as southern
flying squirrels are not very common as pets in my area of the country
yet. After just under a year of searching I finally found a breeder in
Ohio that had some babies available and spent a whole day driving there
and back to get him which was an experience in itself.
I got him at the age of seven weeks while he was still being hand fed
formula which is the best time to get a southern flying squirrel for
them to bond to you. I am in fact still feeding him a small amount of
formula twice daily but am very slowly tapering the amount down although
he just loves the stuff and loves me for giving it to him :)
He is the dearest, most friendly little creature who just enjoys all of
the time I spend with him. I sewed some oversized pockets onto t-shirts
of mine so I can carry him around with me and he can curl up and sleep
inside. He will sometimes perch on the outside edge of the pocket and
watch what I'm doing, or dash in and out of the pocket to have some fun
too : ) He also just recently started jumping/gliding short distances to
me which I just think is amazing!
In just the short while I've had Skittles he has become the dearest pet
to me that makes me smile all the time :)
