Only of they are legal to your area. If you catch one make its environment look like the one outside! They live 1-3 years.
Always feed it and make sure the bowl is not empty!!!
If you want to touch it be careful and just get closer and closer and say " hi rocket" for example. You can also say "how are you" and "what are you doing"?
Keep getting closer and put food in you hand and let it get on you.
Don't force it!!!!! And keep your hand in the cage until it feels safe!
I find them in my back yard so when I catch one again i am going to keep it probably!
Good luck!!!!!
Shrews are not recommended as pets as they have specialized care requirements, such as a specific diet and housing needs, that can be challenging to meet. Additionally, shrews are wild animals and may not adjust well to captivity, leading to stress and potential health issues. It is best to appreciate shrews in their natural habitat rather than attempting to keep them as pets.
