I have a chipmunk called Chippy too! He comes running from the same burrow every time. He waits for me every afternoon and practically is crawling on me at this point. He’s looking to take them right from me now. Can’t believe I AM now being the shy one. ☺️ I love him. He and his little friends were fighting over me today lol
So glad u share my love of Chippy. I just ordered some healthy feed for them as the sunflower seeds they love are too high in fat and low in calcium for their health. Was so sweet when little Orange Blossom brought her 3 babies to meet me and get in on the free food. I also give them a bowl of water and another bowl of fullers earth so they won't give me mites when I handle them. They are delightful and at least as smart as rats. I pray for their protection from the many predators hete in the Northwoods. But I figure they are as safe as possible for not having to range far to forage.
They can be tamed like much faster. It basically takes one winter. Feed one in the winter, there's always others watching ... Even if the first one dies, another almost identical one will take their place. You can pet them after a few feedings, but only while they fill their cheeks, once those cheeks are filled, the love is gone. Always use hand sanitizer or gloves when first starting out, the little guys will smell the food on your fingers and get mixed up, they use their nose more than their eyes when they're in close.
Ahh! Nice film. We have about four chipmunks here as well as two red squirrels. The chippys are friendly and fun to watch. The red squirrels are destructive to property unlike the chippys. I haven't petted a chippy yet but that will come in time. From Minnesota Lake Country Thank you for the film!
I kept a chipmunk over the winter because my cat tried to eat it and I took it from him and nursed it back to health and I just recently set it free but I had named him Chipper and now theres a female with an adolescent chipmunk and I wonder if Chipper is the father.
Last year, I discovered two chipmunks picked our backyard garden to be their new home along with many grey squirrels around. I usually feed them with peanuts.
Me, as well. I just freed one that was in my grass level apartment. I allowed my cat to bring him in, drop him (I commanded him to) I could have them climb all over me if it was safe for them. This way I can trap him (HAVAHart trap) and free him. Than the alternative...
I have a few chipmunks and the occasional gray squirrel or red squirrel, but I would love to be able to get them to eat out of my hand and to be able to pet them, but if not, then it probably is best to just place the food for them and enjoy watching them from a few feet away.
I can relate to everything you said. We have 6 named chipmunks and can tell them apart by the scars in their faces and their personality. Our oldest has been with us for 5 years now ... we're counting.
Great documentary! Our chipmunk is named Sampson ☺️ He likes to play with his cousins and comes up on the deck to say hello when he wants a bit of attention 🤣 Never thing of feeding them but maybe I can get some peanuts and seeds before they hibernate!
No chipmunk in Hawaii, US. But.., They are adorable and incredibly agile and intelligent. Lucky you. Thank you for sharing this video. I hope your families legacy continues, as well as, the chipmunks.
I'm designing a chipmunk character for a game and came here for research, but by the time i finished watching i completely forgot about my work lol. All the best to you and your furry little friends 🤎
Nicely done, Liam! I love chipmunks but I never feed them as I wouldn't wish for them to become dependent on me, in anticipation of the day when I will no longer be around for them. Thank you for this!
My oldest chipmunk - apparently went to see Jesus sometime this spring. She was around 5 yrs old, very tame, would take peanuts out of my shirt pocket, and showed up this April with a litter about 2/3 grown, still scraping them off of her nipples. The young ones are skittish and most of them didn't catch on to peanuts at all - satisfying themselves with acorns. She was extremely territorial. I would sometimes, when a neighboring chipmunk was around, deliberately toss a peanut just in the right place to get a fight going.
I love that ,,,, I live in the Northwoods if Wi, feed them all summer, they get close to me, and jump on me..... I was told not to touch them ... Rabies.... I miss them now ( winter) Do u think all summer when they would fill their cheeks with peanuts I bought 4 them, then they would run off in the woods, I assume they were bringing them to their burrow to stock pile 4 winter..??? You think?? Also, it's so cute when two of them play and chase each other..... LMAO !!!!!!
I have at least 4 Chipmunks running around here. Just saw a mouse run by last night. The Chipmunks are diurnal. The mice are nocturnal so they rarely meet.
I had a chipmunk , called him Alvin.he Had a burrow in my back yard. I would feed him snd he would come out and keep me compan. This went in for about 5 years then he disappeared
maaan.. i wish we had a big forest near our property. we have 15 chipmunk friends and worried they will eventually overpopulate in our small rural area.
Adorable. But I have read that raw peanuts can be toxic for some wildlife, like squirrels, due to trypsin inhibitor. In general, it's better policy not to feed wildlife. "Fed wildlife is dead wildlife".
I'm going to blow your mind, at my Uncle's Camp, I watched a Chipmunk, who had lots of food around as he was my buddy, attack and kill a small garter snake, cut it in two and eat both pieces...I was shocked,
“For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship”
That is so cool that they let you touch them. I have 3 of them in my back yard I been feeding them peanuts. They come pretty close to me but they don’t let me touch them yet. Do they bite?
Oh the fun...I fed tons of chippies and would scratch them all. One turned around and bit me one day. Like two tiny needles going in....then I moved to an apt complex. One guy fed a chippie, so I thought we were all allowed to. Silly me. He died and I got hollered at....not allowed to feed chippies...
My dad just accidentally trapped a chipmunk that came out of hibernation to early. I tried to release him but he just falls asleep in the snow. I put him in a larger live animal trap in the cold storage, about 4c and dry with no drafts. It's still -10c here any advice on how to get him back home? The local animal rescue has not responded.
Although I made a film about chipmunks I am not vet and am not sure what to do in that situation. Definitely keep trying the local animal rescue I hope the chipmunk gets better.
Great video! I have a wild chipmunk who I feed and let’s me pet him as well, but I always wash my hands immediately after because I have read they can carry disease that they can pass to humans. But I see videos of people letting wild chipmunks walk all over them, how do they know it is safe and that the chipmunk isn’t carrying disease?
~I've been feeding the chippies (when they come gather food from your hand😊) and petting them💞 for nearly as many years as I've been alive. (And this is coming from a past "germophobe") ~I can pretty much guarantee you 🙂there's nothing to worry about. Many animals don't have cooties on them -that would ever create a problem for a human. 🙂 so Enjoy 😊🐿️💞
Between me and the dog we kill about 25 30 a summer. They tunnel into everything and get into vehicle motor bays and destroy. The town I live in is overpopulated since lots of old people feed them.
I lose my shit when I see chippies... SO FREAKING CUTE!!!
I also love love love squirrels! They are very similar just different sizes! : )
they are very pretty animals!
When my dad grew up in Washington state in the 1920s, his pet was a chipmunk.
I have a chipmunk called Chippy too! He comes running from the same burrow every time. He waits for me every afternoon and practically is crawling on me at this point.

I absolutely Loved this documentary. I have a baby rescue chipmunk now. Thank you for sharing this.
Very cool, rescue chipmunks!

On top of that, red squirrels are known to eat baby chipmunks in addition to their own young 😐 they're cute but very mean sometimes.
I kept a chipmunk over the winter because my cat tried to eat it and I took it from him and nursed it back to health and I just recently set it free but I had named him Chipper and now theres a female with an adolescent chipmunk and I wonder if Chipper is the father.
Bring him on Maury
Last year, I discovered two chipmunks picked our backyard garden to be their new home along with many grey squirrels around. I usually feed them with peanuts.
this video is awesome! Made my day. We are a chipmunk loving family too!
God will surely bless you.
Me, as well. I just freed one that was in my grass level apartment. I allowed my cat to bring him in, drop him (I commanded him to) I could have them climb all over me if it was safe for them. This way I can trap him (HAVAHart trap) and free him. Than the alternative...
Great video!! I've just started the Allen/Scobie Chipmunk Feeding and Petting tradition
I have a few chipmunks and the occasional gray squirrel or red squirrel, but I would love to be able to get them to eat out of my hand and to be able to pet them, but if not, then it probably is best to just place the food for them and enjoy watching them from a few feet away.
i have 5 in my backyard. Coincidentally One is named chippy as well. Theres Chippy , Sandoo, Kiki, Peach and Stubbs
Watch later 😁
Excellent video! Thanks! My husband and I love chipmunks and wanted to know how to bring them to us more often. This helps!
I can relate to everything you said. We have 6 named chipmunks and can tell them apart by the scars in their faces and their personality. Our oldest has been with us for 5 years now ... we're counting.

This was awesome. I was captivated. I love chipmunks... And squirrels. So I learned a lot. I didn't know that squirrels could end a chipmunk though 😢
Wonderful video Liam. I love these little critters as well.
No chipmunk in Hawaii, US.
But..,
They are adorable and incredibly agile and intelligent.
Lucky you.
Thank you for sharing this video.
I hope your families legacy continues, as well as, the chipmunks.
That was so awesome thanks for sharing!
We enjoyed your chipmunk taming stories. We have some in our garden and they dig up our potted plants.
great job i love them also....your video was great, thanks for sharing
everybody's gotta eat. I love squirrels and chipmunks both. I wish yours could share ad get along as they do here in my yard in GA.
I have 2 chipmunks under my porch that are stocking up for winter. I go thru a bag of peanuts every two days. They're well stocked!
So cute! Well stocked!
I'm designing a chipmunk character for a game and came here for research, but by the time i finished watching i completely forgot about my work lol. All the best to you and your furry little friends 🤎
Excellently done! This is a wonderful film, I loved it and learned a lot
I really enjoy all the chipmunks that show up and enjoy every bit of what they do. Thank you for sharing with me and hope you have a good day.❣️🤓
Chipmunks are _irresistibly_ *CUTE*
Really well put together. I would love to see more on this.
Nicely done, Liam! I love chipmunks but I never feed them as I wouldn't wish for them to become dependent on me, in anticipation of the day when I will no longer be around for them. Thank you for this!
That's my concern, when I move..
All I have to say is best documentary I have really ever watched. Thanks for the experience.
Yeaaay 😊 cabin Chippy lovers unite! 🏚️🐾🐿️💖
Aw c'mon! Not even a little love for the squirrels?
Chipmunk's are a squirrel specie thought

Lovely documentary! Thanks for sharing the unique relationship!
Very enjoyable. Lovely little animals I'm partial too as well.
You are a true Chip-Monk Master
Chipmunk are hard to find these days.
This is great! Thanks for taking the time to make this! I love chipmunks too!
Bro this is really good footage.
I love that ,,,, I live in the Northwoods if Wi, feed them all summer, they get close to me, and jump on me..... I was told not to touch them ... Rabies....

So lovely, thank you!
Its a great documentary
someone compared me to a chipmunk so it brought me here. This was great.
I'm in Ottawa Ontario Canada just a little farther north than Sherbrooke.
Dude great documentary man!
I have a chipmunk "Tewey" and a fox squirrel "Red" that visit me . I feed them both by hand . Tewey is the tamest and will steal food from my lips.
Chipmunks are so cool if you have chipmunks around your home you will never see a mouse since chipmunks terminate mice because of territory
I have at least 4 Chipmunks running around here. Just saw a mouse run by last night. The Chipmunks are diurnal. The mice are nocturnal so they rarely meet.
Adorable video! Thanks.
I had a chipmunk , called him Alvin.he Had a burrow in my back yard. I would feed him snd he would come out and keep me compan. This went in for about 5 years then he disappeared
Awww thankyou I love your video 😊
This is really good.
Man, I wish we had chipmunks in Europe. All we have are plain old squirrels.
maaan.. i wish we had a big forest near our property. we have 15 chipmunk friends and worried they will eventually overpopulate in our small rural area.
Chipmunks are so cute!!
I'm so sad when I hear about kids whose parents never let them have a pet. To deny a kid the special bond with another species is just sad.
Very educational, I like learning like this!
You have a way with animals. C:
So cute 😊
i brought this up to mock my brother. Thanks!
I still feed them everyday. They never stop.
I call mine chippy too
They are my favorite little animals their so cute
What a sweet tradition 😊
Very good video.
Thanks
Chipmunks are very cute. But can they cause damage to the foundation of our homes? Are they destructive?
The chipmunks are so cute😊.
Adorable. But I have read that raw peanuts can be toxic for some wildlife, like squirrels, due to trypsin inhibitor. In general, it's better policy not to feed wildlife. "Fed wildlife is dead wildlife".
Giggles :D
My Beloved Chipmunk ;)
Sheesh i want a chipmunk now lol
Very well done, congrats 👍🦝🍁
I'm going to blow your mind, at my Uncle's Camp, I watched a Chipmunk, who had lots of food around as he was my buddy, attack and kill a small garter snake, cut it in two and eat both pieces...I was shocked,
Excuuuuuse me... did you say squirrels EAT CHIPMUNKS??
Sometimes I see theodore chipmunk the baby chipmunk 🐿
“For his invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship”
I agree about red squirrels.
Great Video ✨
That is so cool that they let you touch them. I have 3 of them in my back yard I been feeding them peanuts. They come pretty close to me but they don’t let me touch them yet. Do they bite?
No they never usually bite me unless my hand really smells like peanuts.
very awesome
I don't think that there is anything cuter than a rodent!! Hands down. Then....there's a sweet kitty in a doll carriage for instance.
Oh the fun...I fed tons of chippies and would scratch them all. One turned around and bit me one day. Like two tiny needles going in....then I moved to an apt complex. One guy fed a chippie, so I thought we were all allowed to. Silly me. He died and I got hollered at....not allowed to feed chippies...
me too...hated red squirrels....boy they are abundant....
Good video. Thanks.
Amazing place 😮
Awesome.
My dad just accidentally trapped a chipmunk that came out of hibernation to early. I tried to release him but he just falls asleep in the snow.

luv it
I miss my Alvin chipmunk 🐿
that gomez..he's allright
What is your personal opinion on the movie series alvin and the chip munks
I, as a friend of the chipmunks, hate the red squirrel
Great video! I have a wild chipmunk who I feed and let’s me pet him as well, but I always wash my hands immediately after because I have read they can carry disease that they can pass to humans. But I see videos of people letting wild chipmunks walk all over them, how do they know it is safe and that the chipmunk isn’t carrying disease?
I pet and feed them as well.
I'm not so worried about nature's disease. I am more worried about human disease. But always stay safe and clean 😉
~I've been feeding the chippies (when they come gather food from your hand😊) and petting them💞 for nearly as many years as I've been alive.
(And this is coming from a past "germophobe")
~I can pretty much guarantee you 🙂there's nothing to worry about. Many animals don't have cooties on them -that would ever create a problem for a human. 🙂
so Enjoy 😊🐿️💞
Cool stuff.
Happy birthday 🎉
Between me and the dog we kill about 25 30 a summer. They tunnel into everything and get into vehicle motor bays and destroy. The town I live in is overpopulated since lots of old people feed them.
cute! i am jealous
hey this was so awesome, bro.. but why would you hate red squirrels?.. dont!
Are you related to Louise Abbott
awesome
What country do you live in ?
Canada 🇨🇦
@@AbbottProductions that's awesome, how hard is it to find a baby chipmunk or bigger one and raise him as a pet ?
@@AbbottProductions is there a way we could chat on private. I'm seeing now we got a lot in common.
Wow 😮
ALVIIIIN!!
red squirrels eat chipmunks...what?
