: when i was little i fell in love with the thought of going to school with a flying squirrel in my pocket. my older brothers had trapped them in the woods surrounding my house. they showed me how to make a safe trap for the squirrels out of a 2*6 piece of wood and a clothes pin. I caught a couple of them and kept them for a while, never breeding them. it is true that if you catch a baby you will have a friend, the full grown mothers are too testy and could give you a bite not to forget. hope your trappings go well, sorry i do not know if you can buy them.
