Okay so there's a flying squirrel in my house

[iamgrace]

We have it cornered in Henry's room. You guys!

[iamgrace]

Also, this is basically the most fun Henry has had since...well, ever. Kids are weird.

Is it cute or terrifying?

[bonquiqui]

Oh jesus

[iamgrace]

It's adorable and we have no idea how it got in. It's quite concerning.

I used to have one loose in my house. Those things are hard to catch! Good luck!

[shostakovich]

Do you have an attic? My BFF growing up shared an attic bedroom with her sister, and they would have flying squirrels in there a lot. A couple times when I slept over, I would wake up and they would just be jumping from beam to beam above my head. It was awesome/terrifying.

omg gross. I hate squirrels.

[idoinjuly]

I think I would seriously cry.

Wha, really? How can you hate squirrels?

Um, what?

Lol.

[mcmel]

Flying squirrels are adorable, but I'm not sure they'd be so cute if they were in my house. Good luck getting him out!

They are giant rodents. And they are everywhere. And I have nightmares about them jumping at me National Lampoon-style. Ick.

Also I like to feed songbirds and they destroy my feeders. And steal cherry tomatoes out of my garden. Bastards

Sorry but that image makes me laugh. I love that movie.

Okay, my H caught him in a box. The box is outside and he will take him for a drive later. Lol. Henry keep asking for the squirrel.

I'm gonna catch it in my jacket...and smash it with a hammer! elleblue

We tried everything to get the sqirrels to stop eating our cherry tomatoes one year.  Finally some hawks moved in and scared them off - but apparently hawks like tomatoes too.

It might've been posted already (I can't remember where I saw it) but I'm going to drop this link here for squirrelymom

Didn't you have a chipmunk situation a while back too? Or was that someone else?

Oh yeah, that was me. We also had a flying squirrel in the house two summers ago. Fucking wilderness.

Yep.  My dad likes to call them tree rats.  That's basically what they are, and I only think they're cute when they're far away from my garden, and most definitely NOT in my house.

Rats with fluffy tails!

[Booze Raccoon]

We had one a few years ago.  Animal control came out and rescued him.  He let him go on our front lawn.  He was so cute and so scared under the table in my living room!

[Ruby Gloom]

I still think I'd rather have a flying squirrel in my house than your mom.

At least the squirrel will leave Henry's nuts alone.

(Lol see what I did there?)

[noodleoo]

Oh no! Did you get him? I had a flying squirrel in my house once and h and I chased him for a good 3 hours before we managed to get him out a door. It sucked. He was cute in retrospect, but not at the time. We think he came down the chimney.

[fezzik]

Lol, that's crazy. A chipmunk got in our house last spring. My cat caught it and would play with it then let it go to chase it again. I was home alone and I about died. It was so fast and I didn't know what to do. Omg.

[snickers]

Holy shit, I would just leave lol
