Hi,
I have a quick question about my chipmunks behaviour.Its about one of my young females. When I first let her out to roam free she runs about like normal. She will run back to me climb up my arm and across my head and run off again. But after a while she will run at me very fast start to bite me and run off again very fast. She will keep donig this until I have no choice put to put her back in the cage. Does this sound familiar at all to you ?? |
Webmasters reply:
I think she is playing with you. I have a girl that does this, she is out on free range most of the day, and when she is bored she will suddenly jump on me then run away really fast, do a quick turn, and come running back. The only difference is mine never tries to bite me. If you try to chase yours does she want to play even more, as mine does? |

hi! i have 1 chipmun it has grey hairs on ts tail which im sugesting that she is old and i was planning to breed her by getting another chipmunk, do you think she will still be able to have babies! thanks! :)
ps ur site rocks! its sooo helpful
|
Webmasters reply:
Hi Declan, thanks for your comments. She may not be all that old for a chipmunk, as I've seen some of mine have grey hairs after only about three years. But is impossible to tell the age of a chipmunk as they can vary in size quite a bit. So yes, more than likely she will be able to have babies, and most chipmunks make very good mums. |

Hello, love the site - it's very informative.
Just a quick question though, the clay pots you mention you now use, do you have any photos of them? Also, where did you get them from?
Thanks |
Webmasters reply:
Thanks for your praise Elliott. I got my pots from a garden center, and they are about 50cm deep, although the deeper the better. |

just wanted to say i'm glad you suggested that the mesh cage shown in the picture would drive a chipmunk mad. i rescued a pair a few years ago that lived in a cage like this before i got them and they both had stereotypic behaviours (showing they wern't coping). they would both jump off the side wall onto the top of the nest box over and over and over again. i put them in a large cage in my shed and they did it less frequently but it never went away. sadly some care books still say a 3ft cage is big enough, it definately is not. ps your avairy looks great. |

i've got 3 questions for u. 1st one do chipmunks smell bad cuz im planning to get 1 or 2? 2nd how long do they live for? 3rd can they live by them selves and by that i mean with no other chipmunk? and i love ur site. |
Webmasters reply:
I do not think they smell to bad, so long as you clean their aviary once a week. Chipmunks can live for up to about 12 years, but the females live longer than the males, which can live up to about 7 years, but 5 years is about average. Yes they can live alone, in fact in the wild they live alone only coming together to mate. |

Webmasters reply:
I think a place to start would be the chipmunk forum on this site, as sometimes there are chipmunks for sale. You could also try a search through the forum, as there are some links to other sites which sometimes have chipmunks for sale or in need of re-homing. |

i dont have any feedbacks your website is great! anyhow, i would like to purchace a chipmunk but i want to ask you a question to ask you,
i would like to keep the chipmunk in mybedroom and only let out when im watching it, like 'giving dogs a walk' and thats becaue im a very student. my point is, i live in a hot country but at night when i go to sleep i turn on the AC and my room becomes really cold really really cold, is this extream change at night ok for a chipmunk to get used to? please reply asap |
Webmasters reply:
Hi Nemo, Yes using your air conditioning at night should OK for your chipmunk. Chipmunks will build a nest and put lots of soft warm hay and tissues in their nests. So they are able to keep warm through the night, and even though your air conditioning will make the room cold, it will not make it below freezing. |

hi i am lookiing to get a chipmunk soon i have read all the safety parts and what i need i ticked all but 1 got cat it will be easy enough to keep her out due not allowed in room where gonna keep chipmunk and she is 80% time outside and 20% sleeping but if i have a cat will it be in really bad danger |
Webmasters reply:
I can't say for sure as I don't keep a cat, but I have read and been told some bad stories. I have put this question up in the chipmunk forum so that anyone who has had some experience of keeping both types of animals together can let you know if there are any tricks to keeping them apart. |
