General Information on Chipmunch
The Chipmunck is generally a friendly animal and easily tamed. Its diet consists of flower bulbs and corn. Sometimes a Chipmunck gets into a home and hides. If so, it can cause structural damage and leave feces. It is therefore recommended that a technician catches it and places the Chipmunck back into its natural environment.
After a gestation period of one month, the female gives birth to between 3 to 5 young. After 8 weeks they are weaned and independent. In captivity, the Chipmunck can live up 8 years, but in the wild its lifespan is about 4 years due to lack of food and water, diseases, predators and other environmental factors.
