For a couple of years. I think life was just easier for it than being a totally wild squirrel.

I’ve read most people do a soft release. Usually the squirrel will return to a hutch that gets locked at night to keep predators from getting it, and then that opens up in the morning. A lot of people provide supplementary food and water as long as the squirrel needs it.

Yes, I did read they can get quite aggressive when they start nearing sexual maturity around 1 year old. Hopefully by then, he will be with his peoples.
