How to feed squirrel????

I am having a squirrel anyone knows a healthy food for it

Its my pet and 2 and half years old

chitrajaraika,
I love squirrels. Nice to know that you have a 2.5 years old squirrel. I always try to take a snap when squirrels are eating food. They are so joy to watch.
Regarding the healthy diet for them, go through the given link.

There is also a message board to ask/give suggestions.

Squirrels are crazy for dried corn...if you can find on the cobs all the better. Sunflower seeds, nuts, ground nuts etc are all good just don't give them anything salted. They are so small even a small amount of salt is bad for them.

Thanks tashidelek really helpful.......

Hey chitra, this may sound silly but do you actually hold the squirrel since you said you have it as a pet.
Do squirrels recognize their owners?

Dear Chitra, I think it was an innocent query put forth by Sarada for which your response was a nasty one. When I was in school, I had found a baby squirrel that had fallen from its nest and since I had held it, its mother refused to accept her back. I fed it with bottle milk and later made a hole in another large tree for it and used to stock it with nuts, peanuts, etc. from my weekly tuck money. Of course it used to recognize and hop on to me. Later in life I have raised birds but never kept them in cages. They were all free to come and go. I like it like that. I like to take care of stray/street dogs too but never want to control their freedom.
