Confirmed with GM Tivvy that this is a separate script from hedgehogs, in spite of them being very similar. This article is still missing the analyze, third person messaging, and additional ambients.)

Squirrel pets are a type of fluff pet that can be intereacted with and has a variety of ambient messages. They behave very similar to hedgehogs and come with a unique wearable container to hold them. They can be placed on the ground and interacted with by anyone in the room, but can only be picked up by the attuned character. The squirrel can be transferred to another character by using GIVE twice. No one else can pick it up but the Janitor will take it, so be mindful of leaving it behind.
