I almost let a squirrel in through the window...

Whoops...

On the bright side, I now know he'd definitely take a treat from hand

Careful. If squirrels get used to being given treats they will aggressively seek treats. You may find them climbing your leg or jumping on your head or shoulders to get treats. Squirrels learn quickly.

I have friend that rescued 3 infant squirrels many years ago. She bottle fed them every 2 hours until their eyes were open. Sadly 2 passed away shortly after that. The one left was h e ( ( on wheels. Bit both her kids with infections and her, tore her house up and chew holes thru drywall faster then buzzsaw. She released it and it chewed her gardens to bits, also wood siding on her house. Best advice leave them alone. Let Mother Nature handle them.

I am sure this would be a bad thing, but I can't lie - the idea a squirrel might climb my leg for a treat makes me kinda giddy

It’s kinda like a kitten crawling up your legs. They climb trees at an alarming rate of speed. Just imagine sharp toenails doing the Jose Grecko up and down your body and maybe a good bite on your ‘lady bits’ while your dancing around trying to get it off.

The 1st couple of times it is cute. When they do it every time they see you it is not so cute. There is a botanical garden in Florida that has an overabundance of squirrels. Visitors would feed them peanuts. When I visited if you sat down on a bench the squirrels would jump on you. If you were eating a snack they would try to take it away from you. Like I said the 1st couple of times it was cute.
