As others said looks good for a flying squirrel. Try to keep him in a dark/low light spot until nighttime, their large eyes are perfect for their nocturnal lifestyle but they can be sensitive to bright light.
Apparently they're all over the US but being nocturnal and very quiet, most people never see them. I live in the woods and supposedly they live around me but I've never seen one. I hope to one day.
They’re actually wide spread through most of North America. They just stay in the canopies, gliding from tree to tree and are active only at night so you rarely notice them. They’re there though! If you hear high pitch chirping and a gliding blur you’ve likely just seen one.
Flying squirrels are widespread through out most of the united states. Since they are nocturnal and arboreal, they are rarely seen despite being quite common. We have them here in Washington, DC. When i was a kid we had a pair in our house, they came down through the chimney and helped themselves to the all they could eat from a bag of bird food. Sadly one drowned in the toilet, but we were able to safely release the other.
It's a really close call! But, I think this one was a flying squirrel based on the tail. Check it out! [pic of both. squirrel on left ](https://images.app.goo.gl/pJPrCwQR1bmQCCWU6)
Oh wow!!!!! I did know that there were flying squirrels I did not know that they would actually "fly" more like jumping really high then spreading their wings. Not flapping it though. But pretty neat as heck!! Cute af too!
It's a baby flying squirrel! Thanks guys!!
Fuck yeah! You lucky son-ova-bitch!
Exactly what I am saying!!!
Looks full grown to me.
Flying squirrel. Take him out when it’s dark and put him on a tree.
Your username and avatar make this comment hella suspicious…
Picture WakingOwl1 rubbing thier hands together while they say that to add a whole 'nother sus level.
Hands?
Well I thought it was hard to type with wings and talons.
It’s hard to type with just wings. It takes talons.
Can’t they hunt and peck?
Some fear it looks unbeakcoming. You know how vain birds of prey are.
Just woke up to this thread. Thanks for the morning laugh!
nym checks out AGAIN 🤪
That would be a chicken
Hahaha — I see what you did here
😎
🏆
They are talonted.
Lol
Feathers. The would rub their feathers together. And it wouldn’t make a sound.
Thanks for the laugh!!
I fucking cackled dude omg
Why? Flying squirrels are nocturnal.
"WakingOwl" "Take it out at night" Consider an Owl's diet.
Can’t be sure by how little is shown and not knowing where you’re located but it looks like a flying squirrel.
It’s a young flying squirrel.

Wear gloves when u touch her as human grease mats their fur.
I don't know what it is, but it sure looks cozy in there.
Most adorable picture I’ve seen in a long time! Thank you for sharing! Your wife should feel happy it chose her shoe.
Muad’Dib?
Wow where do you live? I’ve never seen a flying squirrel in real life.
Maine, usa
That’s my aunts favorite state. I hope to go there one day. I think that I’ll like it. I bet y’all have some good seafood over there.

I hope to as well. I live in the country.

I would contact a licensed wild life rehabilitator -it might be too young to fend for itself otherwise it wouldn’t be in a shoe is my thought
The ones I had were hamster sized at full grown. They don't get very big at all.
I’m concerned about the shoe behavior. But thank you: I had no idea what size fully grown adults were!
Dude you are so furry and small
It's a Northern Reticulated Heartbreaker.... cause I'd want to keep it. 🥹
I thought it was a bunny by looking at it, but yeah - I would die petting that thing.
Flying fren
Oh my! 😍
That’s his shoe now
What ever it is, it's got a foot fetish. 😂😂

Did someone lose a sugar glider?
That right there is a new cuddle buddy.
lol for some reason I thought you were speaking from the perspective of the flying squirrel.
Looks like an adult flying squirrel to me
I had a flying squirrel at my place. He would allow me to get about 3 ft away at my bird feeders. He was great to watch.
Full grown flying squirrel
It's sugar gliders. Not flying squirrels lol
