Thank you  ;D

I am worried about the letting them out though as i think Hermione will cause some trouble as she doesn't like other Chipmunks

Thanks Sarah-Jane hopefully they will settle down.

I let them out. I just opened the door of the cage and sat back and waited. It took awhile but eventually Lottie found the door and came out. She passed the door many times but didn't seem to notice it was open. First Asriel came through the door into the cage which put Hermione on edge but nothing too bad happened. Lottie was out for a long time probably an hour before Blossom ventured out. Asriel was jumping in and out of the cage and Blossom watched and then found the door. Isabella, Ronald-Harry and Hermione didn't move. Lottie came back in the cage i think she was missing her mum and sister and brother. She tried to have a feed off mum but Hermione moved away. She then went in the nest box with her siblings. I decided to give the other two some encouragement, first i got Lottie and put her back in the aviary but she returned to the cage again, it seemed she was happy in there and didn't want to leave her mum and siblings in there on their own. I used a cardboard tube to transport Isabella and Ronald-Harry into the aviary, this was quite some time after Blossom left at least half an hour. Then again to get Lottie again. This time she stayed out and stuck with her sister Isabella. Ronald-Harry was very nervous and hid. They were all out so i decided to leave the aviary and watch from a distance. Hermione was still in the cage. About half seven i decided to have a check on them and heard sound noise from the sleeping house, some alarm calls and it sounded like a scuffle. I checked in the cage, it was empty. Then Asriel ran out the sleeping house, i saw Hermione hide and some of the babies ran out the house and the others hid in there. Its likely Hermione did attack Asriel and woke him up, it didn't look too serious but the commotion also woke up Bailey. I decided to leave them and hope for the best. We had a check on them about half an hour ago and it looked like they were all in the house, one was looking out the hole. I might check on them a few more times. It looks like they may all sleep in the house. Asriel and Pearl have a nest in the corner, the nest box is empty so probably the mum and babies will sleep there. I left their cage open though so they can sleep in their nest box if they like. So it looks like it was a partal success (apart from Hermione).

It seems the babies and Hermione slept in the night house last night, when we checked them there wasn't any in the cage. All four babies were around when i got up today and i also saw Hermione, Asriel and Pearl. Some of the babies had joined Pearl in her nest. I have left the cage in there for now and i fed them both in the aviary and the cage as Hermione and the babies are going in and out of the cage at the moment. Blossom was feeding off Hermione. When does the mother's milk dry up?

Thanks Chiptastic.

The babies turned seven weeks old yesterday. I have seen all four but only got pics of Blossom and Lottie as Isabella and Ronald-Harry are quite shy and hide alot when i am in the aviary. They were with Pearl in her nest. Asriel and Hermione were running around the aviary, got a few pics of them.

I have removed the cage and i don't know if they miss it or not because they were still going in and out of it alot. They were all digging in the spot the cage was in, there was probably some treats hidden under there.

Hi Jenny

Would love to come and see them but we are moving away and we have lots to sort out.
It would be great to see all of your babies.
We have decided to keep one of Squidgy and Gubey's babies this year. The house we are moving to is going to have a nice garden so I am hoping to have a good size aviary
or a bigger cage inside us Chris would prefer them inside for company of course because they are so cute.
You bunch looks great Jenny you must be so pleased with them.

Hi Judy, thats good you will be able to have an aviary, where are you moving to? Does Chris still work in RAF? I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of Squidgy's babies and of the girl you are keeping  ;D

I can see the advantages to keeping them indoors you do see more of them and often during the evening and night too but i just didn't have a good enough indoor cage so its much better for mine to live outside and they also have a more natural home.

Thank you they are doing very well and i am very pleased with them.

Hi Jenny


We are moving to Lincolnshire in August.
Sorting out lots of stuff already. It is going to be a big move.

Yes Chris is still in the RAF and that's why we are moving, he got posted to Waddington and we are buying a house in Gainsborough so it is exiting but I am worried too. We have never moved with Squidgy and Gubey before so hope they will be fine. I am move worried about Gubey he doesn't like change not like Squidgy she doesn't give monkeys what is happening around her bless. 

Will try to get some more photos of the babies. They are sooooooo noughty. The little boy is trying to bonk his sisters and mum too. Very noughty

Hi Judy, sounds great i hope everything goes well. Aww poor Gubey hopefully he will be ok. Looking forward to seeing photos. Lol Hermione's babies have been doing that to each other and also to their mum abit but she just moves away. Ronald-Harry was hiding in the tube today so i got a poor picture but its the best i can get of him at the moment.
