It's not a pet, all the squirrel on the pictures are different individual (except for the one wiggling its tail behind the tree, which is the same you see eating on the second set of pictures).

I didn't use food, but these squirrels live in a forest in the middle of a city, some people probably throw food at them. Despite that, not all squirrels approach you, it's maybe one out of 4 that will come a few feet away from you. I took most of my pictures by sitting or lying on the ground waiting for them to come closer.

Great work. You sat in the snow and your virtue was rewarded.
