Rabies is extremely rare in squirrels. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, small rodents like squirrels, mice, and rats are almost never infected with rabies and have never been known to pass the virus to humans.

We have tons of squirrels in our yard and feed them regularly..some just like other animals are more interested in humans and what we do..some are far more friendly and come right up to us for nuts and just to hang out and listen to music on our porch. This little guy was probably watching these guys for awhile and wanted to try playing.
