Chipmunks - A Short Documentary

[@mariashaffer-gordon3561]

When my dad grew up in Washington state in the 1920s, his pet was a chipmunk.

[@stephaniemcmahon3808]

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

[@joshua9891]

Chippy

[@harsh_but_fair]

I lose my shit when I see chippies... SO FREAKING CUTE!!!
I also love love love squirrels! They are very similar just different sizes! : )

[@mitzibritt4093]

I absolutely Loved this documentary. I have a baby rescue chipmunk now. Thank you for sharing this.

[@laurabarker593]

this video is awesome! Made my day. We are a chipmunk loving family too!

[@ToyotaGuy1971]

God will surely bless you.

[@zimjun7]

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...

[@manxcat7377]

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!

[@christopherbucher7017]

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.

[@jimbox8762]

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.

[@mangosucker]

I like your short documentary! We have a summer place just outside of Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba and have 4 chipmunk friends - Braveheart, Scarface, Nosy, and Spaz. Braveheart regularly runs up my leg and sits in my lap while I give him peanuts and pets. He gets hazelnuts as a special treat. He goes "nuts" over hazelnuts!! 😂

[@wideawake5630]

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.

[@sarahdawson975]

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!

[@sceneugh]

i have 5 in my backyard. Coincidentally One is named chippy as well. Theres Chippy , Sandoo, Kiki, Peach and Stubbs

[@kellylott9296]

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 😢

[@yavin99]

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.

[@chelseyt7091]

Bring him on Maury

[@melissaohlrich2418]

That was so awesome thanks for sharing!

[@THX-vb8yz]

Great video!! I've just started the Allen/Scobie Chipmunk Feeding and Petting tradition

[@MaysrJustThis]

This is great! Thanks for taking the time to make this! I love chipmunks too!

[@drewstrom75]

Aw c'mon! Not even a little love for the squirrels?

[@allotiranog6074]

Chipmunk's are a squirrel specie thought

[@Methadone4Life]

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.

[@discover.yourjoy]

Excellent video! Thanks! My husband and I love chipmunks and wanted to know how to bring them to us more often. This helps!

[@user-xg9gw5lh1b]

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.

[@mcsmama8619]

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!

[@jat6547]

That's my concern, when I move..

[@34disorder84]

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 🤎

[@hootinouts]

Wonderful video Liam. I love these little critters as well.

[@SpeakUrMindShareUrWords]

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.

[@AdaPotada]

Excellently done! This is a wonderful film, I loved it and learned a lot

[@Godsbest777]

Really well put together. I would love to see more on this.

[@Cozy.Mood.B]

Chipmunks are _irresistibly_ *CUTE*

[@pbuck9949]

great job i love them also....your video was great, thanks for sharing

[@LostCatFinder]

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.

[@fizixx]

Very enjoyable. Lovely little animals I'm partial too as well.

[@glendalynnejanacek7558]

Awww thankyou I love your video 😊

[@legionsherwood2163]

Bro this is really good footage.

[@3rdRailRenegade]

You are a true Chip-Monk Master

[@BubbleBurster-nv1vl]

I just came across your video! I LOVED it. We have fallen in love with our chipmunk.
I was trying to find out what they like to eat. Now I know. We are hopeful the chipmunk will be successful in dodging predators such as foxes, squirrels and dive bombing blue jays and gardner snakes. Thank you for delighting us with your video!

[@SisterWatchmanBrooke]

🙂 I feed chippys quality bird seed & nuts mix!

[@AnnaLiisaOG]

So cute 😊

[@GardeningWithDoug]

We enjoyed your chipmunk taming stories. We have some in our garden and they dig up our potted plants.

[@legionsherwood2163]

Chipmunk are hard to find these days.

[@kileyackerman5479]

All I have to say is best documentary I have really ever watched. Thanks for the experience.

[@stormstrider1990]

Man, I wish we had chipmunks in Europe. All we have are plain old squirrels.

[@rileystefan5978]

Chip and Dale be like 👁👄👁

[@TaraMolohon-lb1zn]

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.❣️🤓

[@siddhantkunkerkar5723]

Its a great documentary

[@raechelmattison7011]

someone compared me to a chipmunk so it brought me here. This was great.

[@mikes.4136]

This is really good.

[@SisterWatchmanBrooke]

Yeaaay 😊 cabin Chippy lovers unite! 🏚️🐾🐿️💖

[@michaelsmith-ws2mb]

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

[@greenbroccolistudios1275]

Giggles :D
My Beloved Chipmunk ;)
Sheesh i want a chipmunk now lol

[@rousefire]

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.

[@flowerchild89]

Chipmunks are so cute!!

[@65wiseman]

I still feed them everyday. They never stop.

[@ChiefPeck]

Dude great documentary man!

[@TheGreekOrthodox]

Adorable video! Thanks.

[@robinettecooney545]

So lovely, thank you!

[@mariotoriodumpitjr.2678]

The chipmunks are so cute😊.

[@carmaela2689]

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.

[@KeithScheiern]

i brought this up to mock my brother. Thanks!

[@jamesharden5259]

I call mine chippy too

[@jat6547]

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 !!!!!!

[@chrishaines1677]

I agree about red squirrels.

[@aaronalquiza9680]

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.

[@69THGILF]

Very good video.
Thanks

[@chrisrobillard7515]

I'm in Ottawa Ontario Canada just a little farther north than Sherbrooke.

[@_carbon]

Great Video ✨

[@Anna-gg1wp]

Sometimes I see theodore chipmunk the baby chipmunk 🐿

[@Melo_Alienware]

Chipmunks are so cool if you have chipmunks around your home you will never see a mouse since chipmunks terminate mice because of territory

[@jazzcatt]

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.

[@JaylynAreizaga]

[@doncummings3915]

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,

[@WhenceRed]

very awesome

[@Anna-gg1wp]

I miss my Alvin chipmunk 🐿

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.

[@crazyjimheath]

awesome

[@jjb1974]

Chipmunks are very cute. But can they cause damage to the foundation of our homes? Are they destructive?

[@matthewkeoseian6819]

that gomez..he's allright

[@HotHoneyMustardSauce]

cute! i am jealous

[@jaswin023]

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".

[@LadyYoop]

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...

[@LadyYoop]

me too...hated red squirrels....boy they are abundant....

[@phoebekosaketh4316]

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?

[@AbbottProductions]

No they never usually bite me unless my hand really smells like peanuts.

[@chrisrobillard7515]

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.

[@AbbottProductions]

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.

[@tarun1982]

hey this was so awesome, bro.. but why would you hate red squirrels?.. dont!

[@Tealpumpkinn]

ALVIIIIN!!

[@kalib20101]

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.

[@meatloafdaddy1223]

What is your personal opinion on the movie series alvin and the chip munks

[@DosYeobos]

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?

[@69THGILF]

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 😉

[@SisterWatchmanBrooke]

~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 😊🐿️💞

red squirrels eat chipmunks...what?

Are you related to Louise Abbott

[@Ben-fx8lg]

You’re video changed my thought process a bit.. I call them “the devil’s squirrel”. They’re cute but they bury and tear up my plants… I catch them in a cage with peanut butter as bait.. Than drive them 2ish miles down the road and let them go… I know folks that setup the drown bucket… And I don’t have the heart to do that. But unlike the typical Indiana squirrel. They cause damage.. You gotta go bro……. Not by death but far enough to not see you again
