    Baby chipmunks!

    Yes, Mama Mare is at it again! . My son's girlfriend had found a batch of four, abandoned young babies on a hike in the mountains. She watched them, from afar, for hours, to make sure they were truly abandoned. After a week of trying to keep these little ones alive, the kids came to me asking for my help.

    First off..they were cold to the touch. I know from dealing with baby cockatiels,,this is not good! I hooked the little ones up with the baby cockatiel's original abode, (ten gallon aquarium), setting on a heating pad, on low with a folded towel over it. The kids were feeding them warm puppy formula which is good but they were using a baby kitten bottle with a nipple that was too large. A syringe or eye dropper is best.

    I'm happy to report at this time, they are starting to eat and bink/bounce all over the place! I need a new IPad. My photobucket sucks at kicking out photos for posting

    Thanks, Helena! You've got the picture! The babes that I have are younger than any you see there. I'm waiting for the right moment to strike Best Buy to buy a new IPad, the kids say online is best but I like having a place I can go talk with folks if I need help...yeah,,I'm old fashioned

    They are starting to thrive but I don't want them to be too in tune to humans. We are planning on setting them back from where they came.

    But @Mare, if you send them back who's going to keep them warm at night???? Will they be okay to release already?

    @Dragonlady2, nice link, but at the bottom of page one it says: "Eastern Chipmunks are mostly solitary, except for mating season in the Spring. They do communicate, however, with a high, birdlike chipping noise that gives them their name." So if they sound like birds wouldn't that mean they chirp, not chip?? Should some one named them Chirpmunks instead, lol......
