RE: Getting A Chipmunk To Take Food From My Hand

in WE ARE MOVING2 years ago

OH MY GOODNESS!! THEY ARE SOO CUTE! Did you name him/her yet? The GIFs are 100% cuteness! The only thing I noticed was how small his/her ears are!

I used to do the same, but with a cat. She was a black cat so my father and I called her "Midnight".

To gain her trust, I took a stick and feather and put the feather in the stick and I played with Midnight like that for a few weeks.

Then I removed the stick so then it was just the feather. Yes she scratched me a few times because the feather was so close to me. Then I removed everything and I pet Midnight for the first time. And holy guacamole she was soft! I have never touched a chipmunk before, but I plan to one day! Keep up the cute work @omra-sky! :)

Thank you! I was actually calling it Chippy. 🤣

That's great that kitty let you pet her. With a little patience, anything is possible. Food helps, too.

Yeah, kept asking my father if we could bring out a can of tuna to feed Midnight, but he kept saying no. Well the time I had with her was great. To this day, I still don't know if she is dead or she left to find love. "The story of Midnight stays as a mystery."
