How can i gain a squirrels trust?

Use fermented fruit. The little guy will soon develop alcoholism and, with you as his enabler, will develop a strong bond with you. He will then come to see you to get his fix and share his problems with you at all hours of the day and night. This is called friendship.

A small cage with some bait works pretty good. You could even put it to sleep temporarily, wrap it in duct tape up to its neck and wear it as a necklace, feeding it to keep it alive. Leave an opening for the butthole.

Leave food out and sit around it and don't aknowledge him. Once he stops being so scared gradually move closer, then step it up to walking around (just like back and forth) while he eats. Once they get comfortable around you it's easier to pet them. Whats interesting is they might even teach their children not to be scared of you.

when they bite your finger and your doctor insists you get the rabies series of shots it wont be so damn smart an idea.

Perhaps you should present the squirrel with your "nuts" if you are a man. Then it will know you are vulnerable and have offered not only your most valued asset, but its preferable treat. Either this or hook it up with some shelled pistachios and/or macadamia nuts. That way you will spoil it with luxury nuts and it will know you offer a better life than acorns alone can provide.

There was a squirrel who lost his fear of humans in the tree in my yard. He liked hanging out by the bird feeder and would explore the porch. Maybe a bird feeder on the porch would help

ahhh this is so sweet..bread tho? try seeds?

Spend time with your bread and the squirrel. Don't give up the bread without being there. He will eventually come over to get the bread and when he does, don't move. Squirrels are curious and will get the bread with you there. Keep moving the bread closer and closer untill the bread is on your leg. Don't move fast or be loud. Talk to him in a soft comforting voice.I got to sit in my hand while he ate whatever I had for him.At first he would grab it and run away to eat . Be patient and be there at the same time every dayHe will wait for you to bring him foodand he will learn that you won't hurt him and he will let you pet him. They are way cool and worth the time spent with him. Have fun and enjoy your new friend.

Put some food on the ground close to you, sit still and wait. Get him used to coming closer to you and show him you aren't dangerous and eventually he might eat from your hand.

Its all up to the individual squirrel.

My mom always feeds her squirrels popcorn. I'm sure she's had them eat from her hand before

Animals respond to movement and sound. In your case body language. The way to get yourself to move in a non threatening manner is to metally project to the animal you are peaceful and mean no harm.

Mentally tell yourself to be open to the squirrel and that you arent a threat. Open your palms slowly and be as still as you can. Gain its trust by letting it observe you.

Slowly try to read the animals mind. What its thinking. Have total empathy for it. Realize you are a large predator approaching a tiny defenseless squirrel.

It takes time to learn this but once you can whisper to animals a whole new world opens up.

Dont try this with cats tho.

Don't clean for a week then sing any song from snow white or cinderella

My cousin has been putting food out on his back step for a long time, to feed squirrels in his neighborhood. He says one or two of the squirrels are almost tame and won't run away if he puts his hand out the back door to put more food out there. But mostly he just watches the squirrels from indoors through the window.

Give it some nuts to eat and then perform dentistry on it.

By tranquilizing him.

Adopt different body movement. And take on the scent of a squirrel, or a scent that smells friendly to a squirrel, so your complicated human scent does not scare him.

ya m8 i love squirrels

You can’t gain :D but this is so cute you have a squirrel friend. Keep giving its bread.

It's a wild animal. It may bite you. also is bread healthy for squirrels?
