Yes, it seems cool, but once he is in the wild, he should NOT be tame. You should NOT play with him once he is in his natural habitat because a) other squirrels will estrange him and he will not have notmal social skillz and b) other people aren't as nice to these creatures as we are. Because they are tame, it might produce an unfortunate event.

Seriously, you really shouldnt be playing with your squirrel now that he is free. Your squirrel is probably so grateful that you helped him, but now you have to continue to help him be a free squirrel again.

I don't agree with everything said on every site about releasing, but this one gives some good info.
