Unlike larger animals that are easy to spot, this pet moves quickly across the ground and can easily escape your view. With the right preparation and a few apples in your inventory, however, you can add this energetic companion to your collection.

Where to find the Flying Squirrel in Crimson Desert
The Flying Squirrel can be found near the fighting practice area located close to Howling Hill Camp. Before heading there, travel to Hernand City and purchase several apples, as they are required for the taming process.
Once you arrive at the practice area, start knocking down nearby trees. The Flying Squirrel does not immediately appear in the open and is typically revealed after trees are brought down. Keep a close eye on the ground because the animal is small and blends into its surroundings.
One of the biggest challenges is that the squirrel moves extremely fast. It often darts across the area before players can react, so be prepared to run after it if necessary.
How to get the Flying Squirrel in Crimson Desert
Travel to Hernand City and buy at least three apples. Head to the fighting practice area near Howling Hill Camp.
Knock down trees in the area to force the Flying Squirrel to appear. Watch the ground carefully for a swift-moving animal. The squirrel is small and can be easy to miss.
Run after the Flying Squirrel and interact with it when possible. Feed the squirrel an apple. This increases its trust level.
Feed a second apple when prompted. Feed a third apple to raise trust to 100%. Once trust reaches 100%, the Flying Squirrel is successfully tamed and registered as your pet.

Many players overlook the Flying Squirrel because it does not remain stationary like some other pets.

If you do not see it immediately after knocking down a tree, scan the surrounding area carefully and be ready to sprint after it.
The Flying Squirrel is a fun pet to collect thanks to its unique spawning method and energetic behavior. By purchasing apples in Hernand City, searching the practice area near Howling Hill Camp, and feeding the squirrel three apples, you can quickly earn its trust and add it to your growing collection of Crimson Desert companions.
