What about live trap for rats? It may work if baited with chunky peanut butter.

that's a really good idea.

WELL I HAVE GOOD NEWS
it's definitely alive

AND BAD NEWS
it bit the shit out of me and ran off into the house

I"m sorry to laugh but that is one of the most hilarious things I've ever read
Do you have cats? I hope cats/dogs don't get it
next time keep it in a contained room, like a bathroom

Glad to help.

it's only 50g so I'm not sure the trap I have would be sensitive enough

oh it's hilarious. I worded it hilariously on purpose. xD

I called my SO and said "yknow how you told me not let the squirrel loose in the house? well...."

could you put something to like weigh it down part of the way so that it'll trigger it when it comes in?
Like tape a small rock onto it?

I don't know how traps work so idk if that would work?

Can it be set on a hair trigger? We do it for rabbits.

so the full story is that the dogs were staring at the front door like alerting on something so I looked out the window and saw one of our cats so I opened the door to let him in and saw that the cat was focused on something - picked up the grey mass of fluffin and brought it inside and got it warmed up to treat for shock - no external bleeding - and contacted one of my friends who does wildlife rehab. she video called me and asked if I could weigh him. so I did & he woke up from his stupor and ran off so I pursued him and sneakily grabbed him because chickens have lulled me into a false sense of security and he bit me and escaped! so I caught him a second time with a towel and put the towel in a Tupperware because I didnt know what to do and I was trying to slide the towel out of the tupperware and the squirrel came with it & went into the front room and disappeared under the couch.
