i was wondering if anyone knew of any places in massachusetts where baby raccoons or flying squirrels were sold. I would greatly appreciate any help and guides. I have looked online on several different websites and searches but i have not a single success. Thanks, I will rate.

She got him from a place online, and they had him shipped to her house. But, you should know that she originally had a very mean one, and she had to have him shipped back and told they guy that she wanted a tame one. So, it might be a bit hard to find a very tame one.
I'm not sure where she got it, but if you search online you should be able to find more. Try searching for "sugar glider breeders" or "flying squirrel breeders"
I wouldn't advice getting a raccoon. They are wild animals and get quite big and dangerous. But a flying squirrel has been known to be a good pet.
But, you should know that both species are nocturnal, so they will be more comfortable sleeping durring the day and being awake at night. So, that might mess up your schedule a bit. [ selectopaque's advice column | Ask selectopaque A Question ]
