Is there a way to keep a custom menu expanded when editing a custom post type?

I figured this out by putting the main menu slug into the show_in_menu key of the custom post type array like so:

$args = array (
        'labels' => $labels,
        'hierarchical' => FALSE,
        'description' => $title . 's',
        'supports' => array( 'title' ),
        'show_ui' => TRUE,
        'show_in_menu' => 'squirrels_inventory',
        'show_in_nav_menus' => TRUE,
        'publicly_queryable' => TRUE,
        'exclude_from_search' => FALSE,
        'has_archive' => TRUE
    );
