Can you actually have a squirrel for a pet?

Yes. According to wikipedia: ';Squirrels are occasionally kept as household pets, provided they are selected young enough and are hand raised in a proper fashion. They can be taught to do tricks, and are said to be as intelligent as dogs in their ability to learn behaviors. In these cases, a large cage and a balanced diet with good variety will keep a pet squirrel healthy and happy. As a pet, the owner must be aware of ';spring fever'; at which time a female pet squirrel will become very defensive of her cage, thinking of it as her nest, and will become somewhat aggressive to defend the area.';

Are you referring to a wild squirrel like the ones you find in your backyard? I think there might be disease issues there but it's your call. I had a pet pig in a suburban area as a pet when I was young so why not?!
My grandmother had one, but it was never really friendly. It used to bite her all the time, if I am remember correctly.
Yes, you can, but squirrels eat your nuts at home.
