I was Just wondering if it was ok/legal to keep a squirrel as a pet. They are SO cute and when i get older i would LOVE to have one as a pet. If its legal in the state of texas to keep them as pets then please state which type (ground squirrel, flying squirrel etc) and in which parts of texas (like dallas county etc.) Please also state that if they are illegal then why do you think they are? chinchillas are allowed to be kept as pets (from my understanding) and squirrels don't seem to be too much different. Please and thank you

BQ: please tell me where the best place to get a squirrel in texas is if its legal and what website can i use to do research on what they need (cages, bedding, food etc)
