Any one like anything that isn't domesticated.

There's a lot of animals that people keep that haven't been domesticated.

My dad brought a raccoon into the house when it was a young kit.

It destroyed as much as it possibly could before it was 8 months old. Like actually destroying even the walls.

Not me personally but I knew a few people while I was growing up that kept a ferret and possums. Ferrets are not generally kept as pets in this country. I guess you can but I've never seen any for sale as pets. They are considered a bad pest, as are possums.
The possums seemed to work out alright but not so much the ferret.

I tried to raise a few babies once. Someone found them and brought them to me. They were mean even as little things and got so nasty we had to just put them down. They still required several more weeks of bottle feeding and I didn't want to get bit.
They're cute, but that's about it. Lol.
