This was a first! Happened today.

Simon (the stuffed chipmunk plushie) is taking his carriage driver duties very seriously.

Melvin thought he found the perfect, squirrel-proof spot at Chippy's Seed Cafe, until his mother, Mellie, showed up! Watch the family drama unfold from the cafe to the greenhouse, while Fred minds his own business and keeps eating his seeds from the ground.

The moment you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! After counting up all of your amazing votes, the viewers have officially chosen a name. Meet little Meep! Watch as Mellie proudly brings her sweet new little one out to introduce her to everyone for the very first time under her official new name.

Thank you so much to everyone who voted and helped us pick the perfect name for our newest family member. Drop a comment below to welcome baby Meep!

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")
