In reply to: John 's message, "Estranged Flyer" on 16:46:49 11/20/06 Mon

They are very social animals and as many as 30 have
been found in one tree nest. A single flyer in a
cage will need more social interaction than if
there are two flyers in a cage. With two, they have
each other to socialize with when you aren't around.
Younger squirrels need that interaction more than
older ones.
