Chipmunk

Diurnal-Omnivores

Chipmunks eat seeds, berries, nuts, plant blubs, insects and small vertebrae. Chipmunks can cause a tremendous amount of damage through digging and burrowing activities. They will burrow under pools and sidewalks and can ravage a garden and flower bed. Chipmunks normally live in underground burrows, mulch beds and rock piles. Chipmunks have a home range of about 1/2 acre. They mate twice a year, once in February – March and again in late summer and give birth to 2-5 young.
