    As a boy we would camp in the Utah mountains and spend days befriending those cute little critters.
    I only got bitten once but he was just scared.
    The next day he came back and climbed up onto my lap and ate seeds with me.
    He said sorry in his own way.
    Great memories

    We just moved into our newly built house on some land and there's a group of chipmunks that live in the immediate area. We have a couple bird feeders in the back yard and log piles near the front that the chipmunks hang out around and I've been going out there with seeds in my hand, they're especially skiddish its seems because before construction started, I doubt they've ever had humans anywhere near them, let alone walking up to them but I've been working on em slowly and have gotten a couple them to eat out of my hand a few times, they put their little front paws on my hand, super cool. So I'm gettin there. I don't care if they only like me because of food, it's worth it. They're so damn cute.

    I have been feeding a mama chipmunk for about 2 days, the closest she has gotten is 2 feet, but I think this will help!! I have been feeding her millet and bird seeds, I have also been giving her water. One of her 2 babies almost came up to me but was too scared. I hope I can make friends with the babies too! I have named her Nectar, and she now responds to her names and my calls. I call her a good girl and talk to her so she gets used to me talking.
    She all tipped over a plastic water dish when she tried to get a drink of water the second time LOL.
    The humming bird: After only being with her for a few hours, a male humming bird circled two inches from my head and has been coming back. I will feed him sugar water, I have named him Hector, I think he has a nest near the chipmunk burrow

    I did this last summer, but started with a trail of peanuts in the shells, which ended at the foot of my lawn chair. I put a large peanut bag down, next to my feet & this guy is right, they’re super greedy!! My lil chip got inside the bag several times, loading & unloading those giant shells into his pouches. I gave him some almonds today & he can’t stay away. 😂🙌🏽

    I used a slightly different method. I started putting wildlife food in front of my feet, then on my feet, then in my hand. I had a garden glove on in case of things he may Cary, and not be too reliant on people since not all people are like me. And to keep them wild. I may do it gloveless next time. They fill their mouths, Ron back to their nest to store it, and run back to me. Adorable feeling their paws on your hand.

    Good technique but for anyone trying this please be respectful of the animal. Not all chipmunks are the same. Some are very, very shy. Give them time and don't force a relationship on them. Keep in mind they are very busy trying to gather a lot of food that has to last them 6 MONTHS while they live underground. Be generous, please!

    I managed to befriend one when I first moved into this house- took a while- his tunnels were under my porch; eventually came up the steps and took nuts out of my hand. After about 3-4 days he would actually stand upright in front of my screen door & would screech, asking for more handouts, I'm guessing, so I did humour him when I could. He had a scar on his back, so I'm guessing he'd already been hurt by some other critter. Unfortunately, he suddenly disappeared; I'm guessing he became a victim of the neighbour's black cat, which was frequently in my yard (and crapping in my flower beds). Too bad. Trying to "tame" a new one but he's really not brave at all.

      Give him time. It took me one year to befriend a black squirrel. He knew he was different and he was terrified of everyone. Eventually, when he realized he was special in a good way he came running. Midnight is the smartest, sweetest squirrel I have ever known and more important he knows he is loved.

      I saw this animal running in my neighbor's yard with its tail up. I assumed it was a chipmunk or something else because I couldn't see that well. A few minutes ago it just walked past me and I knew it was a chipmunk so I held out some nuts. It came back really close , looked at me for like 15 seconds, then went past me again.( I'm not saying ran away because it wasn't scared) I dont see my neighbors feeding it so I think it's one of the brave ones . Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to go grab some peanuts along with a cake. How to I actually get the chipmunk to eat from my hand instead of walking past me?

I have so much wildlife in my yard and I marvel at how a baby bunny doesn't leave because I don't stare at it when I step out of my door! (I used to have domesticated dwarfs as a teenage.) I worry so much that the foxes and cats will get them. I have squirrels that invade my bird feeders and my vegetable garden and are bold and do not run until I'm on top of them. I would like to make them afraid of me because they scare beautiful birds AND docile geese. I plan to buy a sling shot but to shoot soft ammo to scare and not kill. This is one rodent I do not care for anymore, but not enough to kill. But then I have chipmunks that devour my transplant peppers and cucumbers. I would like to distract them so your advice might help. I think they are so loveable. All rodents are destructive, but there has to be a way to live with all animals, but know how to control them.

    Whenever I feed them with my palm open my finger tips get tugged on. I’ve never been bitten but I’m not comfortable with their teeth on my skin. I just hold and almond out between my index and thumb and they come take it.

    Just be careful the place you feed them is not too close to your windows. They can be pretty loud when they want you to feed them. I never realized just how loud chipmunks could be until I moved to the woods and would see them chirping outside.

      They were just telling other chipmunk that a giant is in sight.

      He does. It takes a long, long time to establish a "relationship" with a chipmunk. I've known one if my monks for three years and she is first getting comfortable sitting next to me while I read. Animals are individuals and have their own personalities and moods. Be respectful of that.

      @@lakecountynaturalist7617 true. at the moment we have 6 or so chipmunks and most of them usually just fill up their cheeks and leave. they let us pet them but i guess theyre on the alert so they dont have time to relax. but if the right moment comes, they just sit there and sit on our patio chairs with us. it took a few months for this.

      Chipmunks do not become dependent. They store a variety of foods in their burrows for winter and have many resources to get what they need.

      @@lakecountynaturalist7617 Very true. I’ve been hand feeding the chipmunks, one in particular, and 9/10 of the nuts I give him he takes, runs off to his burrow to store it for the long, longggg New England winter ahead. He’s got the most well stocked burrow in the neighborhood, I’m sure. Glad to help!!
