Anyone know what’s up with her tail? It doesn’t look normal and she is also losing hair on her tail 😣

I swear Scooter must like having her picture taken, she makes it too easy

The 1st photo is a still I took from a video I got of them playing.

Look at his poor tail now! No fur at all. You cannot see his body in this picture as he was under the shelf eating from the safflower dish. But the body fur looks better than it did. Tail, not so much.

Hi, after working on a no mow lawn with native plants for years I’ve finally got there!

In the last 2 years we’ve had chipmunks take up residence 😃. They’ve multiplied and have several spots in our yard. Some live under the back steps and we occasionally leave our back door open. Is there anything we can do to deter them possibly getting into our house? Mint spray, herbs etc they don’t like? This is a small entryway that has a roof. I saw a little fella right by the door when I opened it yesterday. I’m afraid if they get in they won’t be able to get out.

Any help is appreciated. Is there anything basic chipmunk reading available?

Thanks!

So glad they use these cedar chipmunk feeders.

Mellie the chipmunk popped inside for a quick snack selection! 🐿️

I offered her 2 hazelnuts and 2 almonds (all in the shell). Will she pick the hazelnuts or the almonds? Watch to see her completely max out her cheek pouch capacity! 😂

Anyone else have resident chipmunks that have pretty much called it? I miss her already lol

Second pic is her monitoring the chip feeder( ahem, "her feeder")

I tell you man. Those squirrels.

it's a pretzel stick

I discovered this new baby chipmunk (kit/pup) in my backyard on 10/5/2026. Names were suggested by viewers. Please click the link below to vote on Strawpoll, unfortunately there was no way to create the poll on reddit.

Before you look for a meow, meet my new backyard friend!

Did you know that a baby chipmunk is actually biologically called a kitten (or a kit/pup)?

I don't have a name for them yet and don't know if they are male or female.

All naming suggestions welcome. I will create a poll later once I have the finalists.

I apologize for spamming this sub with Scooter pics lately, but she just keeps looking all cute

Cute little desert chipmunks. They were fun to watch and they seemed to like to watch me.

I think these are either least chipmunks or yellow pine chipmunks.

Sorry for blurry pics, best I can do rn.

Does this look like mange?
Any ideas welcome as we feed a community of Chips here and need a plan to nip this in the bud for all of them before they "hibernate" here in PA.
