You bought a ground squirrel as a pet and you're trying to rehome him?

Thinking maybe they want to breed him/her.

No response from him so, yeah, maybe he wants to get into the slave trade. There's already a bunch of prairie dog type ground squirrels at rescues because people find out ground squirrels are difficult pets. Why would someone think they could make cash selling ground squirrels, when there's already so many at rescues? Breeding ground squirrels is definitely not a profitable business.

There should be no market, they are wild animals and laws in place . They are destructive and require more care than the average person is willing to give. Think how many ppl dump their childs easter bunny because no one wants to do the work.
