When they are babies, the first thing to know is this: When you are feeding them milk and they look like they are choaking or you see bubbles coming from the little nose, hang them upside down so the milk can run out of the lungs. My babies lived about 6 months. They eventually died one by one but they were a joy. The mother left then in the hood of my car and I was forced to try and save them. They were very sweet pets. The book was a big help. They love grapes but cut the grapes in half. Good luck.
Chipmunks

We love wild animals, especially chipmunks and squrrils. This book is wonderful to look at and our whole family loves it. I highly reccomend it for nature lovers of all ages, but primairly school aged children.
Its Helpful

Actually, I was kind of disappointed when I got the book because its geared toward caring for Chipmunks as pets. I was looking for something that focused on them in their natural habitat. However, it is helpful as it gives plenty of info on the cheeky critters, so we can still use it to cater our backyard feeding program. Lots of color photos and good basic text. I would recommend it as it is useful to our purposes, however, I just would have liked something more specific to chipmunks in their natural habitat.
