How long do pet squirrels live?

Pet squirrels generally live 5-10 years, and with good keeping conditions some live longer, over 10 years. Lifespan is affected by living environment, diet, and breed; the owner should provide a quiet, spacious environment with some entertainment to keep the squirrel active, boost immunity, and maintain physical and mental health.

During keeping, the owner should balance the squirrel’s diet to ensure nutrition, and not feed it hard-to-digest foods.
