What should i name my pet squirrel?

i caught a squirel today in my yard. Hes in the cage now and hes jumping around A LOT. Hes really hyper. So maybe a name that has to do with how hyper he is would be good. He also tries to bite my hand when I pet him. I thought about Chopper as a name but i duno. What do you think?What should i name my pet squirrel?
*I have had a pet fox squirrel now for 7 years. I bottle raised him, he was kicked out of the nest because he was handicapped, club foot. Do you have any idea how to take care of them, what they eat, if it is a female and may have a nest of babies in the trees. Yes they do have young in the winter. You need to let it go. They will continue to bite. You are not licensed to have him.What should i name my pet squirrel?
If you continue on in this fashion, you will have a dead squirrel on your hands.





He is not hyper, that is is sypathetic nervous system, causing the instinctual ';fight or flight'; processes to kick in. Digestion stops, all energy is focused on the task at hand, in this case, getting away from you.





If kept in this state, denied of the healing powers of the parasypathetic system, the creature will die in one of several ways.


It may starve, for lack of digestion, die of dehydration, or even of a heart attack brought on by fright, common in small mammals, like squirrels.





This is basic biochemistry.
Chomper, Chopper, interesting names, but like a couple others said, the squirrel is a wild animal and at this moment is terrified. He/she will grow depressed and will probably die. Why not let him/her go, take a trip down to the grocery store, buy a huge bag of unsalted peanuts and throw a few out at a time and just enjoy the squirrels and birds in their environment? Eventually, they come to trust you, and although you probably will never be able to touch a wild squirrel without it wanting to bite your finger off, you can know that you're doing something nice. If you have jays, many will get so used to you holding up peanuts that they will swoop down and take it right out of your hand.
let it go.


its not jumping because its hyper it wants to get out.just let it go.


why would you want to keep some thing that wants to bite you.you will not even be able to grave it with out getting bitten.


and also i think its not legal to catch a wild squirrel and keep it as a pet.


just let it go before it gets out and bites you
Holy crap you have a pet squirrel


THATS AWESOME





names for a crazy squirrel:


sparky or hyphy or whiz


or something else





Edit: cmon gais why the thumbs down, are you jealous that he is probably one of the few in the world to have a pet squirrel; i think he can figure out if the squirrel is sad or not
you shouldnt keep a squirrel its bad for u and the squirrel they're wild animals and have to be free and also if he got out of his cage it would hurt A LOT
uhhh... yea. um, i don't think hyper is the word... maybe, idk, shocked... scared.... yea. let him go cuz he obviously does not like ppl since he's biting. just let him go... now.
It's not legal to catch a wild animal and keep it as a pet, so please let it go.
My robo dwarf hamster is hyper and his name is Firecracker :)





Edit-


What up with the thumbs downs? Atleast I answered his question and didn't judge him like you b******. I could report most of you for not answering his question.
lmao i think you should let him go...he's biting and jumping because he wants to be free, i suggest you throw him back outside!
