Grey spotted tailless hopping squirrell?

I was at the Shida nightmarket in Taipei, Taiwan tonight and saw the most unusual creature ever. One of the shopkeepers in the market had a small rodent like pet that kept hopping on from his shoulder on to his wife's head. I need to know what it was.





It was about the size of a regular hand, tailless (I think), grey with black spots and looked and moved a lot like a squirrel. It would dart all over the shopkeepers body and virtually fly across the room on to the back of the wife's head, maybe a metre away. Never seen anything like it. Any ideas?





It must be some kind of illegally imported exotic pet.....Grey spotted tailless hopping squirrell?

if it looked like a squirrell and was flying, it could've been a flying squirrel. that is a species...
it could just be a chinchilla, they look like squirrells to alot of people and dart around too...
